Great for testing if your research method works
Parallel form reliability
Similar tests, but slightly different, to test accuracy of measuring variables
Predictive validity
(harder), leadership people should be part of leadership activities, SAT math is low in it
Construct Validity
Does the test measure what it’s supposed to?
Social desirability
People dont give honest responses because it produces them to dislike a group
Know correlations (.3, .7, -.3, -.7)
.3 and -.3 are weak, .7 and -.7 are strong(but opposites)
Design a study: examining if students become more liberal due to college attendance, describe your construct(liberalism), describe your measure(how will you measure liberalism?), describe your comparison groups(freshman vs. seniors), discuss your hypothesis-expected findings, and limitations to your study design
Yes, they become more liberal due to the fact that they are forced to go to school and see all these people they may not be comfortable with at first, but will eventually warm up to them. Liberalism is when people are more open minded about others ideas, beliefs, and openness to listen to others with different beliefs. To measure liberalism we could make up a chart called something that people wont get the hint if its about liberalism, and we make up about 30-60 questions on things liberal people would believe, then we test it on people we think to be liberal and retest with similar tests a few weeks later to see if it’s accurate. In theory freshman are going to be less liberal than seniors.
