MODULE #7

Question 1

Pragmatic measures also refer to us

Answer 1

Criterion-related validity

Question 2

This test the practical value of a particular research instrument or tool and focus on the questions.
Does it work? Does it do what it is supposed to do?

Answer 2

Pragmatic measures

Question 3

One requirement of this approach is the availability of a reliable and
valid criterion with which measures on the instrument can be compared

Answer 3

Pragmatic measures/criterion related validity

Question 4

Refers to an instrument’s ability to distinguish individuals who differ on a present or current criterion

Answer 4

concurrent validity

Question 5

A high correlation between the results of the two dissimilar tests would indicate ______ for your checklist

Answer 5

Concurrent validity

Question 6

Refers to the adequacy of an instrument in differentiating between peoples performance on some future criterion

Answer 6

Predictive validity

Question 7

Instruments that accurately predict some future occurrence have

Answer 7

Predictive validity

Question 8

Measures design to predict success in educational programs fall into this category, as do_____

Answer 8

aptitude tests

Question 9

Use mainly for measures of traits or feelings such as generosity, grief or satisfaction

Answer 9

Construct Validity

Question 10

The theoretical base for the concept is tested by determining the extent to which the instrument actually measures the concept

Answer 10

Construct validity

Question 11

This is carried out by comparing two groups, one of which is known to be very high on concept being measured by the tool, and the other very low on that concept

Answer 11

Contrasted groups or
known group technique

Question 12

An experiment is designed to test the theory or conceptual framework underlying the instrument.

The experiment would have hypothesis that predict the behavior of people who score at various levels on the tool

Answer 12

Experimental manipulation

Question 13

This approach is based on the premise that different measures of the same construct should produce very similar results and that measures of different constructs should produce very different results.

The procedure involves the concepts of

Answer 13

Multitrait-Multimethod Matrix Method (Campbell and fiske)

Convergence and Discriminability

Question 14

Is the evidence that different methods of measuring a construct should yield similar results

Answer 14

Convergent Validity

Question 15

is the ability to differentiate construct from other similar constructs

Answer 15

Discriminant Validity

Question 16

Is the ability to differentiate construct from other similar construct

Answer 16

Discriminant validity

Question 17

Is the preferred method of establishing construct validity whenever it is possible to use it

Answer 17

MTMM

Question 18

The difference between predictive and concurrent validity is the difference in the_____ Of obtaining measurements on a criterion

Answer 18

TIMING

Question 19

One requirement of this approach is the availability of a reliable and valid criterion, with which measures on the instrument can be compared.

Answer 19

Criterion related validity

Question 20

This is established by measuring the trait now and waiting to see if the evident occurs as predicted

Answer 20

Predicted validity

Question 21

Two research instruments yield similar results in a study on nurses perception in end of life care. This is validated by

Answer 21

MTMM
