Reliability and Validity Flashcards

1
Q

What is Alternate forms reliability?

A

assesses the consistency or agreement of measurements obtained with different forms of a test, this is essential if different forms of a test are to be used interchangeably

Example: include how there are multiple forms of the NPTE but all are considered valid

Q

What is internal consistency?

A

Q

What is Content Validity?

A

degree to which a measurement reflects the meaningful elements of a construct and the items in a test adequately reflects the content domain of interest and not extraneous elements

example: McGill pain scale has more content validity then visual analog scale because it also asks for location and quality of pain and not just pain level

Q

What is Concurrent Validity?

A

a form of criterion related validity in which an interpretation is justified by comparing a measurement to a “gold standard” measurement at approximately the same time

Q

What is Predicative Validity?

A

a form of criterion based validity in which the measurement is considered to be valid because it is predictive of a future behavior or event

An example is using the GRE as a way to predict Grad school success

Q

What is Prescriptive Validity?

A

a form of criterion related validity in which the measurement suggests the form of treatment the person should receive

An example would be using Dix Hallpike test to determine if the Epley maneuver would be beneficial
