ccj 4700 fsu exam 2 Study Guide Latest
Update
Heisenberg principle - Answer✔✔-The idea that the system and practice of
measurement exerts a psychological influence on the people being measured, and
thereby affects operating results.
Hierarchy Rule - Answer✔✔-the most serious crime is the only crime reported. UCR
conceptualization - Answer✔✔-the process by which we identify what we mean by a
concept.- the product is a specific, agreed upon meaning for a concept
concept - Answer✔✔-construct derived by mutual agreement from mental images
(conceptions)
operationalization - Answer✔✔-the process of developing an operational definition
operational definition - Answer✔✔-definition in terms of specific operations,
measurement instruments, or procedures
reliability - Answer✔✔-requires that the indicator gives the same result each time the
same thing is measured
4 types of reliability - Answer✔✔-- stability: reliability across time ( E.G. test - retest
method, parallel forms method)
- representative reliability
- internal consistency reliability (split half method)
- equivalence reliability (intercoder/ interrater reliability)

how to improve reliability - Answer✔✔-- conceptualize clearly
- increase the level of measurement
- use multiple indicators
- use pretests and pilot studies
- use established measures
- training of research workers/ interviewers
validity - Answer✔✔-measures the extent to which the measure actually reflects the
real meaning of the concept it is supposed to measure ( we can never be sure about
validity, but we can identify measures that are more valid than others)
Types of validity - Answer✔✔-- face validity
- criterion related validity
- concurrent validity
- predictive validity
- convergent validity
- construct validity
face validity - Answer✔✔-does the measure make sense?
criterion related validity - Answer✔✔-compare the results of the measure to some
trustworthy alternative measure
concurrent validity - Answer✔✔-indicator must be associated with a preexisting
indicator that is judged to be valid
predictive validity - Answer✔✔-where an indicator predicts future events that are
logically related to a construct
