Situational judgment tests (SJTs) are popular assessment approaches that present scenarios describing situations that one may experience in a job. Due to its long history and cross-disciplinary nature, today’s SJT literature is quite fragmented. In this integrative review, we start by systematically taking stock and synthesizing the SJT literature from the different scientific disciplines via bibliometric techniques on 524 unique documents. We identify six literature clusters (i.e., SJTs in the medical sciences, SJTs in personnel selection, methodological issues and SJTs for specific constructs, SJTs to assess emotional intelligence and related constructs, technological advances in SJTs, SJTs for teacher assessment and development) that correspond to academic disciplines and research streams within them. We also identify current trends in SJT research by examining the clusters formed by a recent subset of the SJT literature. We then build on the bibliometric analysis by categorizing the identified themes in an organizing framework with two fundamental dimensions: the main purpose of a study (i.e., conceptual understanding, prediction, other [e.g., understanding mean group differences, applicant reactions]) and its research focus (i.e., SJTs holistically, content, and design and methods). Finally, on the basis of this framework, we provide recommendations to encourage greater knowledge sharing between scientific disciplines. In addition, we outline an agenda for future research in terms of four broad directions: SJT theory, SJT constructs, SJT design and methods, and SJT application domains.

情境判断测试文献的综合、系统综述


情境判断测试 （SJT） 是一种流行的评估方法，它呈现描述一个人在工作中可能遇到的情况的场景。由于其悠久的历史和跨学科的性质，今天的 SJT 文献相当零散。在这篇综合综述中，我们首先通过文献计量技术对 524 份独特的文献系统地盘点和综合来自不同科学学科的 SJT 文献。我们确定了六个文献集群（即医学科学中的 SJT、人员选择中的 SJT、方法问题和特定结构的 SJT、评估情商和相关结构的 SJT、SJT 的技术进步、用于教师评估和发展的 SJT）对应于学科和其中的研究流。我们还通过检查由 SJT 文献的最新子集形成的集群来确定 SJT 研究的当前趋势。然后，我们通过在具有两个基本维度的组织框架中对已确定的主题进行分类来建立文献计量分析：研究的主要目的（即概念理解、预测、其他 [例如，理解平均群体差异、申请人反应]）及其研究重点（即 SJT 整体、内容、设计和方法）。最后，在这个框架的基础上，我们提供了建议，以鼓励科学学科之间更多的知识共享。此外，我们从四个大方向概述了未来研究的议程：SJT 理论、SJT 结构、SJT 设计和方法以及 SJT 应用领域。
