Background
Why update norms?
Improved validity & reliability – The question item response scale provides the potential for a wider distribution, internal consistency and thus more accurate results and interpretation.
Better representation of work-relevant demographic groups.
Scale update
For HPI and HDS only, up to 2018 participant responses to question items were limited to True or False. In September 2018, Hogan introduced a 4-point agreement response scale and started to collect response data for analysis.
strongly disagree, disagree, agree, and strongly agree.
Response analysis across participants has been completed and sub-scale results are more accurate for country and global norms.
Data Stratification
New releases of the global norm enables inclusion of country data when sufficient assessments are completed. Countries included in the norm are equally represented in numbers.
Interpretation of results
Continue to interpret sub-scale and main-scale results as before.
