Question 3

Face Validity

Answer 3

the appearance for nonexperts

Question 4

Content Validity

Answer 4

the ability to cover all the subcomponents of a category

Question 5

Criterion-Referenced Validity

Answer 5

test scores are associated with some other measurement of the same ability

ex: 1.5 mil run has a high correlation with VO2Max, while VO2max is a gold standard for aerobic capacity; therefore, 1.5mile run has a high criterion-reference validity

Question 6

Criterion-Referenced Validity types

Answer 6

Concurrent Validity
Convergent Validity
Predictive Validity
Discriminant Validity

Question 7

Concurrent Validity

Answer 7

test scores are associated with those of other accepted tests that measure the same ability

ex: vertical jump with countermovement vs vertical jump without countermovement

Question 8

Convergent Validity

Answer 8

compare to gold standard

Question 9

Predictive Validity

Answer 9

test score corresponds to future behavior or performance

Question 10

Discriminant Validity

Answer 10

ability of a test to distinguish between two different constructs

Question 11

Reliability

Answer 11

consistency or repeatability

Question 12

Reliability types

Answer 12

Intrasubject: lack of consistency within the tested athlete
Interrater: by two different testers
Intrarater: by a given tester
