A

Degree to which subsections measure the same concept

24
Q

Describe Parallel forms reliability

A

reliability of a self report instrument when administered in different forms

25
Q

Describe split half reliability

A

measure of the internal consistency of test population

26
Q

Describe content validity

A

The degree to which items in an instrument represent all of the facets of the variable being measured

27
Q

Describe construct validity

A

The degree to which a test measures an intended hypothetical abstract concept

28
Q

Describe criterion validity

A

The extent to which one measure is systematically related to other measures or outcomes

29
Q

Describe floor and ceiling effects

A

Floor - failure of a measure to detect low scores

Ceiling - failure of a measure to detect high scores

30
Q

What are some measures of variability

A
Range
Percentiles
SD
Variance
coefficient of variation
31
Q

Describe SD

A

how much, on average scores deviate from the mean of the data set

32
Q

Describe interquartile ranges

A

data are divided into equal portions to determine where an individual score lies with respect to other scores

33
Q

Describe effect size

A
.2 = minimal effect
.5 = moderate
.8 = large effect
34
Q

Describe confidence intervals

A

A range of score that contains the true value being tested

Represented usually as 95%

35
Q

Describe an independent T test

A

Compare 2 independent groups

36
Q

Describe paired t test

A

Compare pre and post of the same group

37
Q

Describe ANOVA

A

Compare more than 2 independent groups

38
Q

Describe factorial ANOVA

A

Two or more independent variables are tested

39
Q

Describe ANCOVA

A

One or more independent

One dependent

40
Q

Describe MANCOVA

A

One or more independent variable

More than one dependent variable

41
Q

Describe chi square tests

A

Non-parametric test
It is the analysis of frequencies
Often used in epidemiology studies

42
Q

Describe a correlation analysis

A

Determines relationship between two variables

Does not determine cause and effect

43
Q

What is the difference between p value and alpha

A

P value - probability that a difference occurred due to chance
A level - predetermined threshold to determine if changes are by chance

44
Q

How do you interpret p and alpha values

A

If p is less or equal to alpha, accept research, this means a significant difference exists
If p is greater than alpha, reject research, no significant difference exists

45
Q

What values give a study high amounts of power

A

Large - alpha, effect, sample

Small - variance
