TLDR
The definition of fairness in the guidelines is the same as Cleary's regression model of test bias, which results in a lower proportion of new hires that is minority than the proportion of qualified applicants that are minority as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
The definition of fairness in the guidelines is the same as Cleary's regression model of test bias, which results in a lower proportion of new hires that is minority than the proportion of qualified applicants that is minority. This article explains the disparity, reviews alternative definitions that reduce the disadvantage, and discusses legal arguments. Apparently the guidelines definition is widely disregarded in practice–a color-blind model seems to be the definition generally used by employers. That definition puts minorities at less of a disadvantage than the federal guidelines definition does.read more

The Problem of Group Differences in Ability Test Scores in Employment Selection
TL;DR: This article reviewed measurement-based research efforts to solve or circumvent the problem of group differences by redefining test fairness, relying on job experience to eliminate ability-related job performance differences, by use of specific aptitudes rather than general ability measures, and by searching for bias in job performance measures appear to have been unsuccessful.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decision bias and personnel selection strategies
TL;DR: The authors examined the influence of two decisional biases (framing and cost saliency) on personnel selection decisions and found that participants selected less applicants to be interviewed than "rejecting" strategy subjects, but only when selection-related costs were made salient.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine how high frequency trading is actually used and examine different notions of fairness, such as equal opportunity, fairness of outcomes, and fairness of market participants.

Development of a general solution to the problem of validity generalization.
Frank L. Schmidt,John E. Hunter +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a Bayesian statistical model to explore the alternate hypothesis that variation in validity outcomes from study to study for similar jobs and tests is artifactual in nature.

Test bias: prediction of grades of negro and white students in integrated colleges
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined test bias as an item-group interaction, where the members of a group obtain an average score which differs from the average score of other groups by more or less than expected from their performance on other items of the same test.

Concepts of culture-fairness
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that when the two groups differ appreciably in mean test score, the above procedure, which is "fair" to individual members of the group scoring lower on the test, is "unfair" for the lower group as a whole in the sense that the proportion qualified on a test will be smaller, relative to the higher-scoring group, than the proportion that will reach any specified level of criterion performance.

An evaluation of some models for culture-fair selection
TL;DR: There are many different definitions of what constitutes culture-fair selection, and each implicitly, though unfortunately not explicitly, involves a particular set of value judgments with different implications for how selection should be accomplished as mentioned in this paper.

Fair Test Use in Selection
TL;DR: In this article, the use of tests with which this paper is concerned is the prediction of a specific criterion, which is one of the uses which has considerable practical importance where tests are used in selection, placement, or guidance situations.
