Answer 1

Validity

Question 2

can be defined as the agreement between a test score or measure and the quality it is believed to measure

Answer 2

Question 3

The validity of tests is NOT easily captured by neat statistical summaries, but is instead characterized on a continuum ranging from _____ to _____ to ____.

Answer 3

Weak to Acceptable to Strong

Question 4

determined by the degree to which the questions, tasks or items on a test are representative of the universe of behavior the test is designed to sample

Answer 4

Content Validity

Question 5

Do the items adequately sample the content domain of the construct or constructs that the test purports to measure?

Answer 5

Content Validity

Question 6

inquires into the relationship (correlation) between scores on a test or inventory, and other, external criteria to which the test/inventory is theoretically related.

Answer 6

Criterion-Related Validity

Question 7

a direct and independent measure of what the test is designed to predict.

Answer 7

Criterion

Question 8

relationship between test scores and an external criterion that is measured at approximately the same time

Answer 8

Concurrent Validity

Question 9

relationship between test scores and an external criterion that is measured somewhat later

Answer 9

Predictive Validity

Question 10

It is the extent to which the test may be said to measure a theoretical construct or trait

Answer 10

Construct Validity

Question 11

A refined statistical technique for analyzing interrelationships of behavior data

Answer 11

Factor Analysis

Question 12
