“…La recolección de datos de NSE a nivel individual buscaba obtener una medición más fina de las relaciones entre NSE y CL. Se puede considerar que este extraño resultado se debe al rango limitado de los datos (Thumin, 1993), ya que dos tercios de los participantes vienen de contextos de NSE medio. Por otro lado, la distribución y el resultado del NSE no sorprenden, dado que el estudio fue realizado en escuelas públicas en la misma área geográfica; en México, estas dos características, tipo de escuela y ubicación, están altamente asociadas con el NSE y la calidad de la enseñanza (Backhoff, 2011).…”

Investigaciones previas han encontrado que las habilidades del lenguaje académico predicen positivamente los resultados de comprensión de lectura en español de los adolescentes hispanohablantes más allá del conocimiento del vocabulario académico. Este estudio examina la contribución específica del vocabulario académico y de las habilidades de lenguaje académico a la comprensión lectora de estudiantes de primaria y secundaria en el noreste de México. Participaron en el estudio un total de 1103 estudiantes de escuelas públicas de 5º y 6º de primaria (n=671) y de 1º y 2º de secundaria (n=432). Los participantes fueron evaluados en vocabulario académico, otras habilidades de lenguaje académico y comprensión lectora. Asimismo, se obtuvieron datos demográficos y de nivel socioeconómico. En convergencia con investigaciones anteriores realizadas con hablantes del inglés en EE.UU. y hablantes de español en Chile, los hallazgos revelaron que tanto el conocimiento del vocabulario académico como las habilidades del lenguaje académico son cruciales para la comprensión lectora. Nuestro estudio se suma a la creciente evidencia de las habilidades del lenguaje académico y de vocabulario académico como predictores clave de la comprensión lectora de los adolescentes hispanohablantes en América Latina y amplía la muestra a estudiantes mexicanos.

“…The means, standard deviations, reliability estimates, and correlations for all variables are presented in Table 1. The correlations for the variables tested in our hypotheses were fairly medium sized and significant; thus, the issue of restricted range was not a concern in the current study (Thumin, 1993).…”

Limited research exists around how to effectively enhance the job search behaviors and self-efficacy of job seekers during the job search process. In the current study, we investigated whether mentoring functions (i.e., career and psychosocial functions) are related to job search behaviors through job search self-efficacy. Moreover, we tested the interactive effects of career mentoring and psychosocial mentoring on job search self-efficacy and job search behaviors. Two-wave panel data were collected from 164 college students in China to test our hypotheses. The results indicated that psychosocial mentoring was related to job search behaviors both directly and indirectly through job search self-efficacy. In addition, our results revealed that the interactive effects of career mentoring and psychosocial mentoring on job search self-efficacy and on job search behaviors through job search self-efficacy were stronger when career and psychosocial mentoring were high. The implications of the study’s findings and directions for future research are offered.

“…Some recruiters’ attributions linked to spelling skills seem to be valid: Some conclusions of prior research point to the correlation of spelling skills with job performance. Thumin () found that a spelling test correlated significantly with performance on course content tests during training. In addition, Ziegler, Dietl, Danay, Vogel, and Bühner's () study concluded that a spelling test can be considered a good predictor of training success with operational validities of .38.…”

“Without the spelling errors I would have shortlisted her…”: The impact of spelling errors on recruiters’ choice during the personnel selection process

Despite the time spent on writing at work and employers’ dissatisfaction with their employees’ spelling skills, little is known about recruiters’ attribution, and decision making when they read application forms with spelling errors. This study examines the impact of spelling and typographic errors on recruiters’ attributions about applicants, and on their shortlisting decision. Based on a sample of 20 French recruiters, we conducted an experiment to collect both qualitative data through the verbal protocol method and quantitative data. Specific verbal reports are associated with different types of errors. Recruiters also form attributions about candidates. We demonstrate that spelling errors affect recruiters’ behavior more negatively than typographic ones. We discuss the implications of these findings for researchers and practitioners.
