Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 5mins
When a study is said to be "Valid"....
It is thought to measure what it was supposed to measure
it is thought that the same or similar results should be achievable if repeated
The DV is supposed to have the desired impact on the IV
it is thought to be ineffective
The mos desirable studies are those whose results are thought to be both reliable AND valid
True
False
What is the most appropriate way to judge the results of a study?
Claim that the study is fully Reliable (or valid)
Claim the study is "High" in reliability (and or validity)
Claim the study is "High" in reliability (and or validity) and provide supporting reasons for your judgment.
The two general categories of validity are:
High or Low
External and Internal
Ecological, Construct
Temporal, Cultural
This type of validity refers to how likely the results are able to be applied across different time periods (past, present, future)
Ecological
Construct
Temporal
Archaic
This type of validity is a judgment about how likely the study was constructed in a way that it reflects real-life situations
Ecological
Construct
Population
Internal
a measure of whether data can be generalized to other situations outside of the research environment they were originally gathered is called:
external validity
internal validity
ecological validity
none of the answers are correct
a measure of whether results obtained are solely affected by changes in the variable being manipulated (i.e. by the independent variable) in a cause-and-effect relationship.
Internal Validity
External Validity
Cross-Cultural Validity
All of the above
A type of internal validity that asks 'Was the research "set up" in a way (the procedures) so that it actually tests or measures what it was “designed” to measure'?
Cross-cultural Validity
Construct Validity
External
Ecological
It is unlikely for any study to be completely valid and reliable.
True
False
