Test Validity- Content and Construct Validity

Question 1

validity

Answer 1

test measures what it is designed to measure

Question 2

content validity

Answer 2

such as evaluating content domains (ex- EPPP)

achievement tests need adequate content validity

Question 3

Face validity

Answer 3

extent to which items look valid to examinees

Question 4

construct validity

Answer 4

for tests designed to measure a hypothetical trait (intelligence, motivation, etc)

Question 5

Convergent Validity

Answer 5

degree to which scores have high correlation with scores on other measures designed to assess the same construct

Question 6

divergent validity

Answer 6

discriminant validity- degree to which scores have low correlations with unrelated constructs

Question 7

Monotrait-Monomethod Coefficient

Answer 7

same trait, same method for self-report sociability test

Question 8

Monotrait-Heteromethod Coefficient

Answer 8

same trait, different method when self-report and teach report

Question 9

heterotrait-monomethod coefficient

Answer 9

different trait, same method. self report sociability and self report impulsivity

Question 10

Heterotrait-heteromethod coefficient

Answer 10

different trait, different method. self report sociability, teach report impulsivity

Question 11

Factor analysis use

Answer 11

assessing convergent and divergent validity. administer test, correlate scores (matrix), outcome is a rotated factor matrix
