在应用心理学的大多数领域，对增量效度的评估都做得不够。为了进一步进行这种有效性研究，作者检查了适用的研究设计，包括评估测试工具的增量有效性，测试知情的临床推断和新开发的措施。作者还考虑了可能影响增量效度结果的关键统计和测量问题，包括预测变量的进入顺序，如何解释效度增量的大小，以及增量效度研究所选标准中可能的人为效应。作者最后提出了建立增量有效性累积研究基础的建议步骤，并描述了将常规研究结果应用于个体临床病例的挑战。
There has been insufficient effort in most areas of applied psychology to evaluate incremental validity. To further this kind of validity research, the authors examined applicable research designs, including those to assess the incremental validity of test instruments, of test-informed clinical inferences, and of newly developed measures. The authors also considered key statistical and measurement issues that can influence incremental validity findings, including the entry order of predictor variables, how to interpret the size of a validity increment, and possible artifactual effects in the criteria selected for incremental validity research. The authors concluded by suggesting steps for building a cumulative research base concerning incremental validity and by describing challenges associated with applying nomothetic research findings to individual clinical cases.
