Title: A CONSTRUCT VALIDITY STUDY OF THE "TEST OF INTERPERSONAL COMPETENCE FOR EMPLOYMENT"

Abstract: "The purpose of this study was to investigate the construct validity of the Test of Interpersonal Competence for Employment (TICE), a knowledge based test of interpersonal competence designed for mildly retarded adolescents and adults. This was done by examining the relationship of TICE to four interpersonal constructs: cognitive role-taking, affective role-taking, generation of alternatives, and means-end thinking.

In this study, 41 mildly retarded adult workers were administered the TICE. A performance based form of the TICE was completed on the subjects by their work supervisors. The four interpersonal constructs were assessed by a structured individual interview composed of six videotaped interpersonal problems with questions related to each of the four constructs. Subjects' answers were transcribed and then evaluated by three raters.

A correlation matrix was computed between all the experimental variables. Only one significant correlation was found between affective role taking and the Supervisor subtest of the TICE. Restriction of the range of scores on the TICE appeared to be a contributing factor to the lack of relationship found between the experimental variables. Therefore, a formula for correction of attenuation of scores was employed. The results suggested that stronger relationships between TICE and three of the four construct variables (cognitive and affective role-taking and means-end thinking) could be expected in a population with a broader range of scores."
