Question | Answer |
---|---|
Is this reliability or validity? "the consistency of scores across measurements" | Reliability |
What are the four simple ways of testing validity? | Concurrent, Predictive, Content and Face validity |
What type of simple validity test is this? "if a depression scale only assesses the affective dimension of depression and fails to take into account the behavioural dimension then it lacks this type of validity" | Content validity |
Is this reliability or validity? "the proportion of true-score variance in a fallible score" | Reliability |
What is the more difficult way of testing validity? | Construct validity |
If you get a questionnaire now and and then again in a week and you get a similar score, does this show that the questionnaire is reliable of valid? and why? | Reliable because it has a consistency of scores across measurements |
What does this refer to? "the meaningfulness of a score" | Validity |
What type of simple validity test is this? " correlation between a score and a criterion outcome - it is the extent that a score on a scale or test predicts scores on some criterion measure such as supervisors performance ratings" | Predictive validity |
What three things could ruin reliability? Undermine the consistency? | 1. Item content 2. Assessment episodes 3. Raters and interviewers |
What does this refer to? "the degree to which a score corresponds to the construct that the measure is assumer to qualify" | Validity |
What type of simple validity test is this? "do the items look like they will measure the right concept?" | Face validity |
We can test the reliability of item content by using what procedures? | Alternative form, split half and internal consistency. Now go write them out - what they each involve |
Validity is the _______________ that we can attach to a score | meaning |
What type of simple validity test is this? "correlation between a score and a criterion score - comparing scores of new measure with scores of old measure and seeing if they correlate" | Concurrent validity |
Do we use test-retest to test for the reliability of Assessment episode of Raters and Interviewers? | Assessment episodes |
To test the reliability of Raters and interviewers we can use the ________________ test | inter-rater |
Can you have validity without reliability? | No |
Without _________ it is impossible to demonstrate validity | reliability |
But you can have reliability without having validity. True or false? | True |
