LMSW Exam (Research / Therapies) Questions and Correct Answers the Latest Update

Single-subject research most common is pre- and post-test or single-case study (AB) in which there is a comparison of behavior before treatment and after treatment (baseline vs. intervention) Internal validity refers to the integrity of the experiment itself. It is the ability to draw a causal link between the treatment and the dependent variable External validity refers to the ability to generalize your study findings to the general population (single-subject research tends to have poor external validity, due to the inability to generalize the findings to a wider audience) Qualitative research uses words, usually very time consuming and confined to smaller samples; mostly open ended questions Quantitative research based on numbers, usually larger sample; mostly open ended questions Descriptive statistics #Examify | #OnlineExams | #TestPrep | #StudyResources | #AcademicSuccess | #ExamPreparation | #QuizTime | #LearningTools | #Education | #StudentSupport Examify | Smart Grades | Latest update statistics that summarize and describe the data collected in a study Inferential statistics draws conclusions concerning population based only on sample data; uses probability distributions, correlation testing, regression, etc Interrater reliability the degree to which different observers agree on their observations and give consistent estimates of the same phenomenon Test-retest reliability using the same test on two occasions to measure consistency Parallel Forms Reliability asses the consistency among alternate versions of the same instrument; e.g. creating 2 parallel forms of a questionnaire Internal Consistency Reliability assess the consistency of results across all items within a test Validity the degree to which what is being measured actually is what is claimed to be measured Face validity #Examify | #OnlineExams | #TestPrep | #StudyResources | #AcademicSuccess | #ExamPreparation | #QuizTime | #LearningTools | #Education | #StudentSupport Examify | Smart Grades | Latest update extent to which respondents can tell what the items are measuring from face value Content validity examines whether all of the relevant content domains are covered Criterion-related vailidty examines whether constructs perform as anticipated in relation to other theoretical constructs Predictive validity assess whether constructs predict what they should theoretically be able to predict Concurrent validity the degree to which the measures gathered from one tool agree with the measures gathered from other assessment techniques Convergent validity scores on the measure are related to oth
