| 摘要： | Many tests that have traditionally been administered in paper-and-pencil format are now administered on a computer workstation. One disadvantage of computer administered tests, however, is the inadvertent measurement of extraneous abilities related to prior experience with a computer keyboard or mouse. Surprisingly, there has been little written in the scientific literature about the use of computers in the selection process by organizations. The current study examines the relationship between computer experience and test performance using a computerized selection test. Specifically, some computerized tests, often referred to as "page-turner" tests, present items that have been adapted to the computer and require the examinee to use the keyboard to select a response to the questions, which are presented one at a time. Another type of test is that which takes the form of dynamic virtual scenarios, work samples, or simulations. These may resemble a video or computer game and often require extensive use of both a mouse and a keyboard. The two main objectives of this study are: to determine if examinees with more computer experience perform better than examinees with less computer experience, and to determine if the relationship between computer experience and computerized test performance remains consistent, regardless of the type of test being presented in the computerized format. A total of 96 people between the ages of 18 and 30 participated in the study. Computer experience was measured using the Computer Use and Experience Questionnaire. The personnel selection test used was the Air Traffic-Selection and Training (AT-SAT) test. The relationship between computer experience and performance on the computerized selection test was investigated using Pearson's product-moment correlations and hierarchical multiple regression. |
