The College Sophomore as Guinea Pig: Setting the Record Straight
Abstract
The article presents a response to the 1986 article “‘The Science of the Sophomore’ Revisited: From Conjecture to Empiricism,” by M. E. Gordon, L.A. Slade, and N. Schmitt regarding using college students as subjects for organizational research. The author states that though the subject of the original paper is valid, it deserves further analysis, and offers two reasons why journal editors should consider studies that feature college student data. The author suggests that editors consider the relative usefulness of student and non-student samples and the interpretation of the between-subject differences.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
