Zusammenfassung: | Advances in computer technology have created opportunities for the development
of a multimedia situational test in which responses are filmed with a webcam.
This paper examined the relationship of a so-called webcam test with
personality, cognitive ability, job experience, and academic performance. Data
were collected among 153 psychology students. In line with our expectations,
scores on the webcam test, intended to measure interpersonally oriented
leadership, were related to extraversion, conscientiousness, emotional
stability, and job experience. Furthermore, the webcam tests significantly
predicted students' learning activities during group meetings over
and above a cognitive ability test and a personality questionnaire. Overall,
this study demonstrates that webcam tests can be a valid complement to
traditional predictors in selection contexts. |
