1 CORRECT Criterion-related evidence of validity requires a second instrument.

A) TRUE

B) FALSE

Feedback: Criterion-related evidence of validity requires a second instrument against

which scores on an instrument can be checked.

2 CORRECT Content-related evidence of validity refers to the degree to which information provided by aninstrument agrees with information obtained on other, independent instruments.

A) TRUE

B) FALSE

Feedback: Content-related evidence of validity refers to judgments on the adequacy of

an instrument as it is to be used in a particular study.

3

INCORRECTScoring agreement does not require a demonstration that independent scorers can achieve

satisfactory agreement in their scoring.

A) TRUE

B) FALSE

Feedback: Scoring agreement requires a demonstration that independent scorers can

achieve satisfactory agreement in their scoring.

4 CORRECT Content-related evidence of validity includes content in the test that is consistent with whatthe researcher hopes to measure.

A) TRUE

B) FALSE

Feedback: Content-related evidence of validity refers to judgments on the adequacy of

an instrument as it is to be used in a particular study.

5

INCORRECTThe use of expert opinion, observations, criterion checks, and other methods should be used

to establish that the score of an instrument accurately reflects where the individual should be

placed on a scale of the construct.

A) TRUE

B) FALSE

Feedback: The use of expert opinion, observations, criterion checks, and other methods

should be used to establish that the score of an instrument accurately reflect where the

individual should be placed on a scale of the construct.

6

INCORRECTIf an instrument produces varying results for the same individual, then there is no way to

determine what score is the best indicator of the characteristics of the individual.

A) TRUE

B) FALSE

8

INCORRECTThe test-retest method is used to estimate consistency without regard to time.

A) TRUE

B) FALSE

Feedback: The test-retest method of estimating reliability involves administering the

same instrument twice to the same group of individuals after a certain time interval has

elapsed.

same instrument.

A) TRUE

B) FALSE

Feedback: Errors of measurement refer to variations in scores obtained by the same

individuals on the same instrument.

10

INCORRECTWhen instrument scores can be used to predict scores on a criterion measure that is

collected at a later time, these scores have predictive validity.

A) TRUE

B) FALSE

Feedback: When instrument scores can be used to predict scores on a criterion measure

that is collected at a later time, these scores have predictive validity.
