Abstract	Developed a test for determining academic information-seeking skills in psychology students that measures both procedural and declarative aspects of the concept in a series of 3 studies. A skill decomposition procedure breaking down information seeking into 10 subskills was used to create a situational judgment test with 22 items. A scoring key was developed based on 14 expert ratings (7 reference librarians and 7 psychology lecturers mean age 42 years). Subsequently, the test was administered to two samples of psychology students. In the first sample (78 college students mean age 23 years), the scale reached an internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) of.75. Scale validity was investigated with data from the second sample (81 college students mean age 22 years). High correlations between the scale and two different information search tasks (r = .42 to r = .64; p ( .001) as well as a declarative information literacy test (r = .51; p ( .001) were found. In conclusion, the findings are discussed with regard to their implications for research and practice. (ZPID).
