Epistemic Oppression, Construct Validity, & Scientific Rigor: Commentary on ‘Bias, Fairness, & Validity in Graduate Admissions: A Psychometric Perspective’ (Accepted Manuscript Version)
In this commentary, I highlight flaws in the article by Woo and colleagues (in press, this issue) that undermine its credibility and utility as rigorous science that contributes to the field by discussing: 1) the concept of epistemic oppression (e.g., Dotson, 2014) regarding the glaring exclusion of multiple germane bodies of research; and 2) the importance of including construct validity within a psychometric article regarding the GRE (ETS, 2019). I conclude with a plea to the authors that the matter of anti-Black violence and murder, for which they reference, is one to be taken respectfully, seriously, and somberly.
