, What is a criterion score? One's ability
What is a mean score? It is the mean of scores from all of the trials
What is a best score? The optimal score out of all the trials
What is Stability Reliability It is when the same test/instrument is used on several days and the scores
change little from one day to the next?
What are the factors contributing to low Stability Individuals tested may perform differently. Tester may change. Measuring
Reliability? instrument may be applied or operate differently.
How is Internal Consistency Reliability Coefficient The administrator must administer atleast two trials of the test within the same
obtained? day. For example, skin fold measurements.
What is the advantage of Internal Consistency All measures are obtained on the same day.
Reliability?
What factors affect objectivity? Clarity of the scoring system and degree to which testers/judges can assign
scores accurately.
Define Validation the process of obtaining evidence to investigate the validity of a test and the
validity of an intended use of test and its scores.
Describe Content (Logic) Validity Evidence Extent to which a test appears to contain elements that measure the
components one wishes to test.
Define validity The degree to which a score from the test or instrument measures what it is
supposed to measure.
Describe Criterion Validity Evidence The degree to which scores on a test correlate with scores on an accepted
standard.
What are the two types of Criterion Validity Evidence Concurrent Validity Evidence and Predictive Validity Evidence
Describe Concurrent Validity Evidence When evidence is collected on two measures (a measure being investigated
and a criterion score) at approximately the same time to determine whether the
measure being investigated correlates with the criterion measure.
Describe Predictive Validity Evidence When evidence is collected in order to determine whether a test can be used
to predict some future event such as a future performance or health outcome.
Describe Construct Validity Evidence The degree to which a test measures some part of a whole skill or abstract trait.
