• Situational judgment tests: A review of recent research (2008, result): “Along these lines, recent research confirms the equivalence between written and internet-delivered SJTs (Ployhart et al., 2003; Potosky and Bobko, 2004).”
• Personnel selection. (2008, background): “The only drawback seems to be the somewhat higher-scale intercorrelations (Ployhart et al. 2003).”
• Testing for measurement equivalence of human values across online and paper-and-pencil surveys (2011, result): “By contrast, Ployhart et al. (2003) reported some differences across online and PAP surveys in means and variances of their latent variables of interest.”
• Personality assessment: Does the medium matter? No☆ (2006, result): “Previous studies examining Internet-based questionnaires have reported contradictory evidence both supporting (Davis, 1999; Pasveer & Ellard, 1998) and refuting ( Ployhart, Weekley, Holtz, & Kemp, 2003 ) their equivalence to paper-and-pencil questionnaires.”
• The use of personality measures in personnel selection: What does current research support? (2006, background): “…of privacy and lack of social pressure that internet-administration affords were to result in less response distortion as some have hypothesized (Richman et al., 1999), this advantage might be neutralized by not allowing the option of skipping items, which is typically possible with…”
• Personality and Cognitive Ability as Predictors of Effective Performance at Work (2014, background): “Ployhart et al. (2003) found that Web-based proctored tests (as compared with paper-and-pencil tests) had lower means, greater variances, better internal consistency, and greater covariances.”
