RM lesson 5

Accuracy relates to:

• Completing the same test on different occasions and getting the same/similar results

• How close your measurement is to the best standard

• How fine or small a difference a measuring device can detect

What is internal validity related to in a study?

• Whether the results can be applied to real-world settings.

• Whether the results can be attributed to the different treatments in the study.

What is the definition of validity when your research involves collecting data?

• Validity is the consistency of the results.

• Validity is whether you are measuring what you intended to measure.

What does test-retest reliability relate to?

• Completing the same test on different occasions and getting the same/similar results

• Whether the items in a survey or questionnaire all measure the same thing

• How close your measurement is to the best standard

What does face validity relate to?

• Whether the results can be applied to real-world settings.

• Whether the results clearly measure the performance variable.

What is reliability in research?

• The consistency or repeatability of a measure or test.

• The ability to generalize the results to other people and situations.

• The ability to apply the results to real-world settings.

Which of the following is NOT one of the three factors that could affect reliability?

• Researchers do not know how to use equipment correctly.

• Equipment is poorly maintained.

• The wrong type of equipment is chosen.

• The results can be generalized to other people and situations.

Which type of reliability examines if different researchers in the same scenario would get the same or similar results?

• Test-retest reliability

• Internal consistency reliability

• Inter-researcher reliability

Internal consistency reliability relates to:

• Whether the items in a survey or questionnaire all measure the same thing

• How fine or small a difference a measuring device can detect

What is ecological validity concerned with?

• Whether the results can be applied to real-world settings.

• Whether the results clearly measure the performance variable.

• Whether the results are consistent and repeatable.
