What did Perin and Spencer (1980) find when they replicated Asch's (1951) research?

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 extent to which research findings can be generalized to real-life settings.

The accuracy of the measurement tools used in a study.

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

What does it imply if a study has high ecological validity?

The study's results can be generalized to different settings.

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.

Producing the same result each time the test is carried out

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

Generalising results to other settings and people
