Abstract	Complex Problem Solving (CPS) and reasoning are considered as correlated, but not equivalent [...]. However, empirical evidence for incremental validity of constructs beyond reasoning regarding CPS is scarce. This includes evidence for CPS self-concept [...]. Strongest evidence would result from applying CPS scenarios as criteria that have been constructed to maximize correlations with conventional reasoning tests [...]. Thus, we applied MultiFlux as a criterion to assess CPS performance of n = 240 university students and investigated incremental validity of CPS SC above and beyond reasoning according to a figural matrices test [...]. Results showed substantial unique effects of CPS SC on CPS above and beyond reasoning [...], both for a latent CPS factor and for all four CPS subdimensions. Despite a substantial amount of shared variance, reasoning and CPS proved to be distinct constructs and CPS SC showed a substantial unique effect beyond reasoning in explaining CPS. Avenues for exploring relevance of further constructs for explaining CPS variance are discussed. (Verlag).
