QUESTIONS, STUDY GUIDE & COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW
A researcher is studying the effect of hypnosis on pain experienced during dental procedures.
The researcher's study has two groups: those who receive hypnosis during the procedure and
those who receive no hypnosis. If the researcher plans to use a t-test for the statistical analysis,
which would be the best way to measure pain for this study? - Correct answer ✔✔ numerical
pain scale with a range from 0 to 100
A researcher performs a series of pilot studies to evaluate whether a measurement tool
produces consistent results. This is an evaluation of: - Correct answer ✔✔ Reliability
A researcher develops a 7-point Likert scale to evaluate feelings of well-being in patients who
are undergoing chemotherapy. The researcher administers this measure to other, similar
patients in several medical centers. This is done in order to: - Correct answer ✔✔ improve the
test-retest reliability
In a pilot study to help train a group of data collectors who will evaluate children's pain using a
FACES rating scale, the researcher examines the reliability of the scores of each data collector.
This is an example of which type of reliability measure? - Correct answer ✔✔ Interrater
reliability
A researcher evaluates scores of a paper and pencil instrument with variables at the interval
level of data using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient statistical procedure. This is a test of: -
Correct answer ✔✔ internal consistency reliability
A researcher administers a scale measuring self-confidence and one measuring self-doubt to a
group of subjects and performs a correlational analysis of the results. This is a test of validity
from: - Correct answer ✔✔ divergent validity
