“…To do so, we turned to an empirically supported model for assessing abilities in real-world contexts—situational judgment tests (SJTs; Corstjens, Lievens, & Krumm, 2017). SJTs function by presenting test-takers with low-fidelity simulations of potential events, situations, and conflicts that a person might encounter in a workplace setting.…”

“…Ability-based instructions require respondents to pick the most effective response option or to rate the effectiveness of the various options provided (McDaniel, Hartman, Whetzel, & Grubb, 2007). If test-takers are able to identify effective ways of responding, while ruling out poor response options, the test-administrator can infer that (a) they know how to effectively respond to the particular class of situations modeled, which is knowledge that (b) is likely to be enacted when similar relevant situations present themselves while on the job (Corstjens et al, 2017).…”

“…The method allows one to model a particular class of situations, thereby focusing on the sorts of person-situation transactions posited by developmental and personality psychologists (Baumert et al, 2017). Also, the method does not ask people whether they possess the knowledge in question, which could be problematic, but rather makes such determinations on the basis of an answer key (Corstjens et al, 2017). Through procedures of this type, one might be able to align participants along a social competence dimension that should be relevant in understanding their social lives.…”

Individual differences in social relationship competence (SRC) should have significant implications for social relationship success and well-being. Ability-based measures of SRC are scarce, though, particularly in social-personality psychology, and these considerations led to the present research. In specific terms, a situation judgment method was used to create and examine the correlates of a scenario-based assessment of SRC termed the Social Relationship Competence–Ability Measure (SRC-AM). Four studies (total N = 994) were conducted. Study 1 used item-total correlations and factor analyses to select scenarios from a larger pool. Studies 2 and 3 then showed that the SRC-AM predicted outcomes consistent with social relationship success (Study 2) as well as psychological well-being (Study 3). Study 4, finally, linked SRC levels to peer ratings of social competence and popularity. The research highlights a class of social inferences and abilities that possess novel implications for social relationship success.

“…In line with this notion, situations are usually viewed as the core component of SJTs. This is also why many guidelines for test developers emphasize the need (i) to identify job‐related critical situations by interviewing subject matter experts (SMEs), (ii) to screen and select situations for appropriateness, and (iii) to write comprehensive item stems enabling test takers to envision the critical situations and react to them (Corstjens, Lievens, & Krumm, ; Weekley & Ployhart, ). In short, a costly procedure is seen as vital to equip SJTs with their purportedly most important feature, that is, situation descriptions.…”

The current study builds on the current scholarly debate about SJTs potentially being less situational than previously assumed. Specifically, we respond to recent calls to examine general (situation unspecific) information included in response options as a guide to SJT responses. Across three consecutive studies and three different forms of SJT administration (standard, without situation descriptions, under fake‐good instructions), the relevance of social desirability of response options on SJT responses was examined. Results suggest that social desirability of response options is significantly related to test takers’ response. This finding generalized across different forms of SJT administration. Across studies and together with the plausibility of response options, desirability explained about one‐third of reliable variance in test takers’ response to an SJT. Implications for SJT theory and development are discussed.

“…They created a taxonomy of SJT features and used that framework to summarize research using a content analysis. Corstjens, Lievens, and Krumm (2017) described the contextualization of SJTs and how that makes them similar to assessment centers and work samples but at a lower level of fidelity.…”

Situational judgment tests (SJTs) are popular assessment methods often used for personnel selection and promotion. SJTs present problem scenarios to examinees, who then evaluate each response option for addressing the issue described in the scenario. As guidance for practitioners and researchers alike, this paper provides experience-and evidencebased best practices for developing SJTs: writing scenarios and response options, creating response instructions, and selecting a response format. This review describes scoring options, including key stretching and within-person standardization. The authors also describe research on psychometric issues that affect SJTs, including reliability, validity, group differences, presentation modes, faking, and coaching. situational judgment test, selection method, best practices, psychometric characteristics
