PSY 6645 MIDTERM EXAM WITH ACCURATE
ANSWERS 2025/2026
factors that cause measurement error - CORRECT-ANSWER time sampling
length of test
content sampling
test taker variables
inter-rater differences
test administration factors
test item factors
Methods for Estimating Reliability - CORRECT-ANSWER test-retest
alternate forms (parallel forms)
internal consistency (split-half, Kuder-Richardson formula,
Coefficient Alpha)
inter-rater
test-retest - CORRECT-ANSWER Same test given twice with time interval between testings
Simultaneous Administration (alternate form) - CORRECT-ANSWER Equivalent tests given at the same
time
Delayed Administration (alternate form) - CORRECT-ANSWER Equivalent tests given with a time interval
between testings
split-half (internal consistency) - CORRECT-ANSWER One test is divided into two compa-rable halves,
and both halves are given during one testing session
, KR Formulas and Coefficient Alpha (internal consistency) - CORRECT-ANSWER One test given at one
time (items compared to other items or to the whole test)
Interrater - CORRECT-ANSWER One test given, and two individuals independently score the test
standard error of measurement - CORRECT-ANSWER fluctuations in individual's test scores if examinee
retook test on multiple occasions.
Assessment - CORRECT-ANSWER •A comprehensive process that integrates information from multiple
data collection methods.
Three broad categories for collecting assessment information. - CORRECT-ANSWER 1. Interviews
2. Tests
3. Observations
Purposes of assessment? - CORRECT-ANSWER 1.Screening
2.identification and diagnosis; 3.intervention (treatement) planning
4. progress and outcome evaluation.
Screening - CORRECT-ANSWER Involving a single procedure or instrument, used to determine whether
and individual has a high risk of having a specific problem and needs more in-depth assessment at that
time.
diagnosis - CORRECT-ANSWER detailed analysis of an individual's strength and weaknesses with the
general goal of arriving at a classification decision.
intervention (treatment) planning - CORRECT-ANSWER involves deciding on a course of action that
facilitates client change and helps improve the client's outcome.
