Q

Statistical significance does not necessarily imply a useful relationship.
For example….if you have 90 subjects (N = 90) with an r value of 0.205….it will be statistically significant, but only 4% (r2= 0.04) of the variance is
shared.

A

just see the exam0ple lol

Q

does pearson correlations alwaays measure teh association and the agreement ?

A

no it measure the association but not always the agreement

29
Q

what is an example of a poor agreeement

A

if u have 2 raters and one rater scores it a 10 and the other rater scores it a 100

30
Q

___ ____ does not mean causes and effect

A

correlation coefficient

31
Q

if r was .952 what kind of relationship would u say it has

A

strong significant positive relationship

32
Q

if p < .05 would u reject the null

A

yes

33
Q

what is abbreviated as r^rb

A

posing biserial correlation

34
Q

which correlation is run between 2 levels of categorical variables (ex/ 2 groups ) AND an interval/ratio level variable

A

point diserial correlation

35
Q

is point biserial correlation and pearson correlation ran the same in SPSS

A

yes

36
Q

Is there an association between bachelor’s trained nurses and master’s trained nurses and their average patient satisfaction scores at Methodist hospital?

this is an example of what kind of correlation and why

A

point biserial correlation and bc it has 2 groups (bachelors trains nerves and masters trained nurses) and is an interval/raion levle variable (patient satisfaction scores)

37
Q

what is the non parametric test that is equivalent to the pearsons correlation

A

spearman coefficient

38
Q

for the spearman coefficient the data in SPSS will be into what order

A

rank ordred data

39
Q

what kind of data is spearman coefficient used with

A

ordinal

40
Q

You are interested in childhood aggression. Specifically, you would like to know the relationship in mobility scores and social skills scores in formally
premature children. These children are now all 3 years of age. These two tools are scored using ordinal data. Higher scores are these tools indicate higher levels of mobility and social skills.

what correlation would u use for this

A

spearman coefficient bc it is ordinal data

41
Q

The rs value is calculated from this summed D2 value. Basically…the ___ the difference the ____ the association.

spearman example

A

larger

smaller

42
Q

since we aren’t analyzing the actual numbers for spearman’s correlation does the high or low scores matter ?

A

no

43
Q

what is internal consistency

A

how closely related the items in an outcome measure are as a group

44
Q

 Ex/ written exams
 Ex/ self-report outcome measures
 Ex/ performance measures

these are examples of what consistency

A

internal

45
Q

what statistic is calculated form averaging all the possible pairwise correlations between ideas and also takes into account the number of items and variance too

A

cronbach’s a

46
Q

internal consistency value varies from …

A

0-1

47
Q

the guideline values for interpretation for internal consistency is what

.7=
.8=
.9=

A

acceptable
good
excellent

48
Q

for the coefficient of cronbachs alpha what do these values mean.

more than .9
.8-.89
.70-.79
.60-.69
.50-.59
less than .59

A

excellent
good
acceptable
questionable
poor
unacceptable

49
Q

what does the standard error of th mean measure

A

the average distance between the M (sample mean) and u (population mean)

50
Q

SEM = σ/√𝑛

sp as the n increases (population) what happens to the SEM q

A

decreases

51
Q

___ provides a measure of how accurately, on average, a sample mean represents its corresponding population mean.

A

SEM

52
Q

the standard error of measurement is related to what

A

test reliability

53
Q

the vaule of standard error of measurement gives u an idea of what

A

how much error u should expect form a measurement

54
Q

is the standard error of measurement (SEm) equation

A

SEM = SD square root of 1 − 𝑟

55
Q

what does the r in the SEm equation mean

A

test retest reliability

56
Q

68% of the time the SEM is how many SD away

A

1 .. so if the SEm is 2 and we get a score of 10 68% of the time the pateitns true score would be between 8 and 12

57
Q

96% of the time the SEm is how many SD away

A

2 so if the SD is 2 and the patient gets a score of 10 there is a 96% that the true measruemtn will fall within 6 or 14

58
Q

what is Commonly used reliability coefficient….like a Pearson but with more flexibility.

A

intra class correlation coefficient

59
Q

how many scores is there for a ICC and a pearsons

A

ICC = many
pearsons= 2

60
Q

Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) can be a measure of ___ or ____

A

agreement or assocaitation

61
Q

the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) varies from ___ and ___ is the most consistent

A

0-1 and 1

62
Q

Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) is most often used to calculate what reliability

A

inter rater (can be more than 2 raters)

63
Q

what Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) model is this… each participant is assessed by
a different set of randomly
selected raters. This is rare.

A

1

64
Q

what Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) model is this… each participant is assessed by
each rater, and raters have been
randomly selected and represent all
similar raters. This is common.

A

2

65
Q

what Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) model is this… – each participant is assessed by
each rater, but the raters are the
only raters of interest. This is
somewhere in the middle.

A

3

66
Q

the form of the ICC is determined by what

A

how many measurements there are

67
Q

what does SPSS called model 1,2,3 of ICC

A

one way random
two way random
two way mixed

68
Q

This is a sophisticated way of analyzing reliability…can handle unlimited factors
(facets) and their contributions to the error of a measure…. what is it called

A

g- theory (generalizability)

69
Q

the generalizability theory can estimate what 2 things

A

the relative contribution of identified error and the overall generalizability coefficient

(the closer to 1 the better)
