EPPP test A Exam With Complete Q’s and
A’s
When deception is used in research - -the deception must be explained to
participants as early as is feasible, preferably at the conclusion of their
participation, but no later than at the conclusion of the research. Even if
deception is involved, consent from subjects must be obtained before they
participate in the research.
- The standard errors of means, measurement, and estimate express errors
in terms of - -All the standard error formulas express error in terms of
standard deviation units.
*Sampling error applies to the standard error of the mean only.
*Systematic error does not apply to any of the standard error formulas.
*The testing situation is a source of error taken into account in the standard
error of measurement only.
- Research on the incidence of differential validity has found - -The problem
is one of sample size.
*Differential validity is one of three problems that can occur when using
selection tests in hiring decisions. The other two problems are adverse
impact and unfairness.
*Differential validity is defined as obtaining different criterion-related validity
and coefficients for two different groups (e.g., .51 for males/.35 for females).
*Early research found differential validity to be a significant problem;
however, more recent research has found that differential validity is actually
relatively rare, and that earlier occurrences were simply an artifact of
***small sample size***.
- What are James Marcia's 4 identity statuses? - -1) Identity
Confusion/Diffusion
-Adolescents neither explore nor commit to any identities. Adolescent lacks
direction and is not seriously considering options or trying to develop goals.
(absence of crisis and commitment)
2) Foreclosure
-When an individual commits to an identity without exploring options. (no
crisis)
3) Moratorium
-A state in which adolescents are actively exploring options but have not yet
made commitments. (in crisis no commitments)
4) Identity Achievement
, -Individuals who have explored different options, discovered their purpose,
and have made identity commitments. (resolved crisis and made
commitments)
- The standard error of estimate is affected by two variables - -1) the
standard deviation of the criterion and 2)criterion-related validity.
Intuitively, when validity is high, there should be little error in prediction, and
when validity is low, there should be a lot of error in prediction. This is an
indirect relationship. The standard error of estimate has a direct relationship
with the standard deviation, in that the larger the SD, the larger the error,
the smaller the SD the smaller the error.
- What is the halo effect NOT controlled by? - -*Utilizing relative methods
*Relative methods involves comparing employees with one another and does
not control for halo effects.
*How to control the halo effect: 1) training the raters, 2) a forced response
format in which the rater is forced to choose between two equally desirable
or undesirable attributes, 3) objective rating methods such as BARS.
- What does job analysis do when trying to create a test for proficiency? - -
*A job analysis describes in specific terms the nature of the component tasks
performed by workers on a particular job.
*A job analysis would help a test designer to choose items for the test that
matched the nature of the work involved in being X (whatever is being
measured).
- Dismantling strategy - -Various components of treatment are analyzed
separately; understanding which components account for a treatment effect.
- In terms of parenting, which theorist would recommend the use of natural,
logical consequences and focus on the goal of misbehavior? - -Alfred Adler's
*His Individual Psychology has been widely adapted and used in parenting
programs. STEP helps parents structure family life so that children
experience natural and logical consequences of both good behavior and
misbehavior.
- A t score of 70 would be equivalent to - -*T scores, z scores, and
percentiles are all norm referenced scores that tell us about a person's
relative standing or ranking in a group.
*The scores can also be compared to one another.
