Answer 19

specific: concurrent
general:criterion

a test measure anger is expected to be significantly and positively correlated with a test measuring violent and aggresive behvaior is an example of what validity

Answer 20

specific: concurrent
general: criterion

Question 21

true or false
a test has good construct validity if there is an existing psychological theory which can support what the test items are measuring

Answer 21

true

Question 22

what is involve in establishing validity

Answer 22

logical analysis
empirical data

Question 23

in measuring aggression, you have to check all past research and theories to see how the researchers measure that variable/construct is a type of what validity

Answer 23

construct validity

Question 24

types of construct validity

Answer 24

convergent validity
divergent validity or discriminant validity

Question 25

it involves comparing two different methods to measure the same construct and it is demonstarated by a strong relationship between the scores obtained and the two methods is what validity

Answer 25

convergent validity

Question 26

in measuring childrens aggression you mayobserve their behavior directly and you may also ask their parents to accomplish an agression rating scale is a example of what validity

Answer 26

specific: convergent general: construct

Question 27

this refers to the demonstration of the uniqueness of that test

Answer 27

divergent or discriminant validity

Question 28

in masuring children agression you have to distinguish what is the kids general activity and what is real agression is an exampleof

Answer 28

spec: divergent or discriminant general: construct

Question 29

a test maesures spelling ability should have a low correlation with a test which abstract reasoning is an example of

Answer 29

spec: divergent/discriminant validity general: construct

Question 30

true or false reliability and validity are partially related and partially independent

Answer 30

true

Question 31

true or false validity is a prerequisite for reliability meaning a mesurement cannot be valid unless it is reliable

Answer 31

false reliability is a prerequisite for validity

Question 32

tru or false it is necessary for a mesurement to be valid for it to be considered variable

Answer 32

false. it is not necessary

Question 33

true or false in reliability resultsareconsistent while in validity results satisfy objectives

Answer 33

true

Question 34

tool used to estimate or infer the extent to which an observed score deviates from a true score.

Answer 34

standard error of measurement

Question 35

is a logical result or deduction.

Answer 35

inference

Question 36

is the process of gathering and evaluating evidence about validity.

Answer 36

validation

Question 37

­This measure of validity is obtained by evaluating the relationship of scores obtained on the test to scores on other tests or measures.

Answer 37

criterion-related validity

Question 38

this measures of validity is based on an evaluation of the subjects, topics, or content covered by the items in the test.

Answer 38

content

Question 39

refers to a judgment regarding how well a test measures what it purports to measure at the time and place that the variable being measured (typically a behavior, cognition, or emotion) is actually emitted.

Answer 39

ecological validity

Question 40

a judgment of how adequately a test score can be used to infer an individual’s most probable standing on some measure of interest—the measure of interest being the criterion.

Answer 40

criterion-related validity

Question 41

the term applied to a criterion measure that has been based, at least in part, on predictor measures.

Answer 41

Question 42

Test users involved in predicting some criterion from test scores are often interested in the utility of multiple predictors.

Question 43

is an informed, scientific idea developed or hypothesized to describe or explain behavior.

Answer 43

construct

Question 44

a numerical or verbal judgment (or both) that places a person or an attribute along a continuum identified by a scale of numerical or word descriptors

Answer 44

rating

Question 45

is a judgment resulting from the intentional or unintentional misuse of a rating scale.

Answer 45

rating error

Question 46

also known as a generosity error) is, as its name implies, an error in rating that arises from the tendency on the part of the rater to be favorable in scoring, marking, and/or grading.

Answer 46

leniency error

Question 47

Here the rater, for whatever reason, exhibits a general and systematic reluctance to giving ratings at either the positive or the negative extreme.

Answer 47

central tendency error

Question 48

describes the fact that, for some raters, some ratees can do no wrong. More specifically, it may also be defined as a tendency to give a particular ratee a higher rating than the ratee objectively deserves because of the rater’s failure to discriminate among conceptually distinct and potentially independent aspects of a ratee’s behavior.
