Reliability is a prerequisite for measurement validity. (p. 90)

• True

• False

When researchers measure a phenomenon that does not change between two points separated by an interval of time, the degree to which the two measurements are related to each other is called: (p.90)

• Test-retest reliability

• Testing effect

• Internal consistency

• Split-half reliability

This is one of the methods to assess internal consistency. Reliability can be achieved when responses to the same questions divided into two randomly selected halves are about the same. (p.91)

• Alternate-forms reliability

• Interrater reliability

• Split-half reliability

• Cronbach's alpha

This refers to the extent to which measures indicate what they are intended to measure. (p.92)

• Reliability

• Validity

_______refers to a type of validity that exists when the full ranges of a concept's meaning is covered by the measure. (p.93)

• Face validity

• Content validity

• Criterion validity

• Concurrent validity

_____validity is a measure validated by being closely related to a criterion conducted at the same time, whereas ______validity is a measure that exists when a measure predicts scores on a criterion measured in the future. (p.93)

• Concurrent, Predictive

• Construct, Predictive

• Predictive, Concurrent

• None of the above

A cut-off score is used in a scale to define the presence of absence of a particular condition (p.96).

• True

• False

Systematic error can occur when a field supervisor and a student might assess a client differently given the variation in their years of experience and knowledge. (p.89)

• True

• False

What kind of validity is achieved if scores on measures related to one concept are not strongly associated with measures of different concepts? (p.94)

• Known-groups validity

• Convergent validity

• Concurrent validity

• Discriminant validity

To establish concurrent validity, a researcher must include which of the following in a survey that includes a new index of depression? (p.93)

• A system of weighting responses

• Multiple forms of the same index

• A previously validated measure of depression

• Open-ended questions that ask for details about responses.
