    Utility of policy capturing as an approach to graduate admissions decision making
    (1978) Schmidt, Frank L.; Johnson, Raymond H.; Gugel, John F.
    The present study examined and evaluated the application of linear policy-capturing models to the real-world decision task of graduate admissions. Major findings were that (1) effectiveness of policy capturing was moderated by psychology sub-areas, with the experimental and clinical subgroups showing the highest and lowest predictability, respectively ; (2) utility of the policy-capturing models was great enough to be of practical significance; and (3) least squares weights showed no predictive advantage over equal weights.
