KIN 3502 Final-questions and answers
which type of error can't be eliminated - ANS random
T/F: you should always test people when they are at their best and let them choose the
time and place - ANS True
types of reliability - ANS -internal consistency
-stability
-inter-rater reliability
the degree to which an individual's scores are unchanged within a day - ANS
internal consistency reliability
which types of test can you and can you not use to measure internal consistency -
ANS CAN: psychological tests (questioners) or skills test (throwing a ball)
CANNOT: maximal tests (VO2, 1RM, 1.5 mile run)
is internal consistency reliability usually higher or lower than stability coefficient - ANS
higher because it is not effected by day to day changes
the degree to which individuals scores are unchanged from day to day - ANS
stability reliability
, how to measure stability reliability - ANS test-retest
factors that affect stability - ANS -individual performance varies
-measuring instrument operates/applied differently
-variability among testers
reliability coefficient is calculated to determine if a tests measurements are accepted
as reliable - ANS acceptable reliability
general guide for acceptable reliability - ANS .70-.79 is below average but acceptable
.80-.89 is average and acceptable
.90+ is above average and acceptable
when you have multiple scorers scoring something; how close the scores are related -
ANS inter-rater reliability
inter-rater reliability depends on - ANS -clarity of the scoring system
-degree to which the judge can assign scores accurately
inter-rater reliability is determined by - ANS -intraclass correlation (across judges)
criterion reference scores - ANS pass/fail
how to test reliability of criterion reference scores - ANS administer the test twice and
put them in a contingency table of how they performed both times (i.e passed both
times, failed both times, or passed once and failed the second) see how many people
