A quasi-experimental assessment of the effect of computerizing noncognitive paper-and pencil measurements: a test of measurement equivalence.

Previous studies have provided evidence to question the equivalence of data gathered by different administration modes and to suggest that noncognitive instruments validated for paper-and-pencil administration may not be valid for computerized administration. In this study, a series of analyses of...

Sumario:Previous studies have provided evidence to question the equivalence of data gathered by different administration modes and to suggest that noncognitive instruments validated for paper-and-pencil administration may not be valid for computerized administration. In this study, a series of analyses of the variance–covariance matrices tested the measurement equivalence of data collected from paper-and-pencil and computerized formats. Four work-related noncognitive psychological measures were tested in this study. There was no evidence that administration mode had an effect on measurement equivalence.
