VALIDITY

Question 1

the degree in which evidence and theory support the interpretations of test scores entailed by the proposed uses of the tests

Answer 1

validity

Question 2

not an adequate representation of the construct

Answer 2

construct underrepresentation

Question 3

test measures characteristics, or kills that are unrelated to the test construct

Answer 3

construct-irrelevant variance

Question 4

refers to the appropriateness or accuracy of the interpretation of test scores

Answer 4

validity

Question 5

the degree to which
evidence and theory support the interpretations of test
scores entailed by the proposed uses of the tests

Answer 5

validity

Question 6

involves how adequately the test samples the content

area of the identified construct –

Answer 6

content validity

Question 7

examining the relationships between the test
and external variables that are thought to be direct
measures of the construct

Answer 7

Criterion-related Validity

Question 8

an integration of evidence that relates to the

meaning or interpretation of test scores

Answer 8

Construct Validity

Question 9

Sources of Validity Evidence

Answer 9

TEST CONTENT
RELATIONS TO OTHER VARIABLES
INTERNAL STRUCTURE
 RESPONSE PROCESSES
CONSEQUENCES OF TESTING

Question 10

a test “appearing” to measure what it is

designed to measure

Answer 10

Face Validity

Question 11

Examining different groups
which are expected based on theory to differ on the
construct the test is designed to measure

Answer 11

Contrasted Group Studies

Question 12

Test, time interval, criterion is measured

Answer 12

Predictive studies

Question 13

Test is administered and criterion is

measured at the same time

Answer 13

Concurrent studies

that measure the same or similar constructs

Answer 14

Convergent:

Question 15

when you correlate a test with existing tests

that measure dissimilar constructs

Answer 15

Discriminant
