Determining the Appropriate Correction when the Type of Range Restriction is Unknown: Developing a Sample-Based Procedure

Abstract

Recently developed procedures correct range restricted correlations with information obtained solely from the restricted samples. However, these procedures can be used only when the type of range restriction that has occurred is known. A sample-based classification procedure was developed in an attempt to address this limitation. This new procedure was found to be relatively accurate and powerful in determining the appropriate range restriction correction.
