#1
In assessment, which term refers to the consistency of scores obtained by the same person when retested with the same instrument or test?
Reliability
ExplanationConsistency of measurement over time or under different conditions.
#2
Which of the following is NOT a type of validity in assessment?
Convergent validity
ExplanationNot a type of validity, it's about the relationship between different tests measuring the same construct.
#3
Which term refers to the consistency of scores obtained by the same person when retested with the same instrument or test?
Reliability
ExplanationConsistency of measurement over time or under different conditions.
#4
Which type of validity refers to the extent to which a test measures what it claims to measure?
Construct validity
ExplanationAssesses if a test measures the intended construct.
#5
What is concurrent validity concerned with?
The degree to which test scores are correlated with scores on other relevant measures taken at the same time
ExplanationCorrelation between test scores and criterion measures taken simultaneously.
#6
Which type of validity assesses whether a test predicts future performance or outcomes?
Criterion validity
ExplanationEvaluates if a test accurately predicts future performance or outcomes.
#7
What does the term 'face validity' refer to in assessment?
The degree to which a test appears to measure what it claims to measure
ExplanationThe superficial appearance of a test's content.
#8
Which type of validity assesses whether a test covers a representative sample of the behavior domain it's supposed to measure?
Content validity
ExplanationExtent to which a test covers the domain it's supposed to measure.
#9
Which of the following best describes internal validity?
The extent to which the researcher can draw accurate conclusions about the causal relationship between variables
ExplanationDegree to which a study's design supports causal inferences.
#10
Which of the following best defines predictive validity?
The degree to which test scores are correlated with scores on other relevant measures taken at a later time
ExplanationAbility of a test to predict future outcomes.
#11
Which term refers to the extent to which the findings of a study are generalizable?
External validity
ExplanationGeneralizability of study findings to other populations or settings.
#12
In which type of validity do researchers attempt to establish a causal relationship between the test and the outcome?
Internal validity
ExplanationEnsures that the outcome is truly due to the test and not other factors.
#13
What is the primary focus of ecological validity?
The degree to which the research environment accurately reflects the real-world context
ExplanationExtent to which research findings can be applied to real-world situations.
#14
What is the purpose of discriminant validity in assessment?
To determine whether a test is able to distinguish between groups that are known to differ on the construct being measured
ExplanationAbility of a test to distinguish between different constructs.
#15
What is the primary focus of incremental validity?
To determine whether a test predicts future performance or outcomes above and beyond what can be predicted by existing measures
ExplanationExtent to which a new test adds predictive power beyond existing measures.
