To promote diversity in organizations it is important to have accurate knowledge
about subgroup differences associated with selection procedures. However, current
estimates of subgroup differences in situational judgment tests (SJTs) are overwhelmingly
based on range‐restricted incumbent samples that are downwardly biased. This
study provides much‐needed applicant level estimates of SJT subgroup differences
(N = 37,530). As a key finding, Black‐White differences (d = 0.66) were higher than
in incumbent samples (d = 0.38).
