Non-existent levels of conformity.

Increased levels of conformity over time.

What does the finding of Perin and Spencer (1980) imply about Asch's research?

It had very low temporal validity.

It had moderate temporal validity.

What is ecological validity?

The accuracy of the measurement tools used in a study.

The degree to which a study's results can be replicated.

The study's results are accurate and reliable.

The study's ethical standards are high.

The study's sample size is large.

What should be done if the new method does not correspond to an established measure in concurrent validity checks?

It should be tweaked or refined and then reassessed.

When multiple observers produce the same record

Organize these options into the right categories

Producing the same observations

Being able to establish cause and effect
