test will not reflect unrelated variables. Ex: If phobias
are unrelated to IQ, then when one correlates clients'
dicriminant validity
IQ scores to their scores on a phobia test, this should
produce a near zero correlation.
upper level reliability determines the ____ of validity.
method which tests for stability; giving the same test
to the same group of people 2 times and then
test-retest reliability correlates the scores; only valid for traits like IQ which
remain stable over time and are not influenced by
mood, memory, or practice effects.
a single group of examinees takes parallel forms of a
equivalent or alternate
test and a reliability correlation coefficient is figured
forms of reliability
on the 2 sets of scores.
necessary when testing reliability using parallel forms
of a test (half of individuals get parallel form A first
counterbalancing
and half get form B first). This controls for variables
such as fatigue, practice, & motivation.
Taking the entire test as a whole and then the test is
divided into halves even #s on one half and odd #s on
split-half correlation 2nd half). The correlation between the half scores
method yields a reliability coefficient. *Do NOT merely divide
1st half of test & 2nd half (this could confound the data
due to practice & fatigue effects)

scoring criteria are such that 2 persons who
grade/assess the responses will produce roughly the

reliability coefficient of perfect score, which as no error.

the score is indicative of error.
generally acceptable for most psychological
reliability coefficient of attributes; 70% of score is accurate and 30% is
0.70 inaccurate. (admissions for jobs, schools, etc may
require 0.80 or 0.90)
determined by squaring the correlation (reliability
true variance/coefficient coefficient). Ex: If using test-retest method and the
of determination correlation between 1st & 2nd admin of a test = 0.70,
then the coefficient of determination = 49%.

researcher further examines the criterion validity (& in
some cases the construct validity) of a test by
administering the test to a new sample. This is
cross-validation necessary to ensure the original validity coefficient is
applicable to others who will take the exam. This
method helps guard against error factors (likely to be
present if small sample size)
In most cases a cross-validation coefficient is smaller

than the initial validity coefficient.
