Relating scores obtained on a test to other test scores or data from
other assessment procedures is typically done
in an effort to establish the ________ validity of a test.
Internal
Face
Content-related
Criterion-related
Imagine Maya and Benjamin are comparing their scores on a brand-new intelligence test with their scores on the fourth edition of the Stanford-Binet intelligence scale. They notice a significant, positive relationship between the two sets of scores.
Arjun, who is a whiz at psychometrics, suggests that these findings could be supportive of what type of validity evidence for the new test?
convergent evidence of construct validity
content validity
criterion-related validity
discriminant evidence of construct validity
In the context of test construction, the term 'item discrimination' refers to the ability of an item to:
Differentiate between groups based on demographic characteristics
Distinguish between individuals who have different levels of the trait or ability being measured
Measure multiple dimensions or traits simultaneously
Remain unbiased regardless of the test taker's background
Face validity of a psychological test is concerned with:
Whether the test appears to measure what it claims to measure
The extent to which the test scores correlate with a related measure
The ability of the test to differentiate between individuals on the basis of the trait being measured
The consistency of the test results when administered at different times
When a test is said to have high test-retest reliability, it means that:
The test accurately measures what it intends to measure
The test produces similar scores upon repeated administrations
The items within the test are consistent with each other
The test can differentiate between high and low scorers effectively
An item-difficulty index of 1 occurs when:
all examinees answer the item correctly
all examinees evenly respond to the item correctly and incorrectly.
all examinees answer the item incorrectly
None of these statements are true
The greater the magnitude of the item-discrimination index:
the more people in the lower-scoring group answered the item correctly as compared with those in the higher-scoring group.
the more reliable the test
the more people in the higher-scoring group answered the item correctly as compared with those in the lower-scoring group.
the more valid the test
According to the ethical code of the APS, test results
should never be shared with the examinee
should only be shared with the individual and his/her family
can never be shared with anyone except the examinee
can be subpoenaed and, therefore, are not always confidential
An assumption inherent in classical test theory is that:
measurement can be perfectly accurate if the measuring tool is well-constructed.
each test-taker has a true score that would have been obtained if not for measurement error.
tests originally administered by paper-and-pencil tend to retain their value if they are not modified for computer administration.
test-takers can be ranked according to the level of the trait or ability they exhibit in much the same way one ranks by height.
In Classical Test Theory, the total score of an individual is considered to be composed of which two components?
True score and Error score
True score and Difficulty index
Discrimination index and Difficulty index
Criterion score and Construct score
