Validity: Look at the population used for the VMQ and the populations for the tests used to evaluate the VMQ’s validity. Do you believe that the populations of the other tests are comparable…
For each of the tests of reliability and validity listed on the matrix, prepare a 50-100-word description of test’s application and under what conditions these types of reliability would be used as well as when it would be inappropriate. Then prepare a 50-100-word description of each test’s strengths and a 50-100-word description of each test’s weaknesses.…

This section should discuss the types of validity for which there is evidence and the adequacy of this evidence to support potential uses of the test.…
Teresa: Face validity is really just what it sounds like. The degree to which something appears effective in the way that it stated in the experiment.…

Construct Validity was measured through correlations of the EDI-3 subscales with the subscales of other eating disorder related tests, such as The Bulimia Test. The construct validity had a wide range, from -.13 to .83 (Atlas 2007). When correlated with other eating disorder measures, the EDI-3 has acceptable convergent validity.…
Examples of data collection method and a data collection instruments used in managerial research are experiments, surveys, and monitoring. It is important to ensure that these data collection methods and instruments are both reliable and valid because human service and managerial research needs to be accurate in order to make a proper decision.…

When we think of childhood, most of us have an image embedded in our minds of a place blessed with ceaseless joy and happiness. It’s a time in our life during which an individual is free of responsibilities but subsequently begins to learn right from wrong. Bless Me, Ultima by Ruldolfo Anaya, however, offers a differing viewpoint on childhood and adolescence; one denoted by an inauguration into adulthood and maturity. Antonio Márez, the protagonist of Bless Me, Ultima, is a six year old boy whose childhood is marked by many conflicts and events that administer a lasting impact on his life. Ruldolfo Anaya, through the character of Antonio and his brothers, presents to the reader a childhood marked by a loss of innocence and progression into adulthood through the development of moral independence, expectations from family and culture of what one has to become in the future, and development of the judgment of what is good and what is evil/or a sin. Through the culmination of these three factors, we can see how Anaya’s representation of childhood contributes to the meaning of this fine piece of literature, which is one of a transition from innocence to experience through moral independence.…
A valid instrument is one that measures what it says it measures. Validity depends on the amount and type of evidence there is to support one’s interpretations concerning data that has been collected. This week, you discussed three kinds of evidence that can be collected regarding validity: content-related, criterion-related, and construct-related evidence.…
Face validity, from my understanding, is testing validity based on how the results are going to measure without actually conducting the test. In other words, face validity is based on what is supposed to be than what is actual. According to the website Explorable.com, face validity is a basic measure and the subject, who usually is not an expert, has input about the test (Shuttleworth, 2009, para. 5).…
When examining the data they have collected, it is essential for researchers to determine to what degree is their data consistent. There are many methods by which researchers can assess the reliability of their instruments. Through different statistical procedures, researchers will evaluate the reliability coefficient to ascertain to what extent their data is consistent. The reliability coefficient is generally a numerical value between 0.00 and 1.00, where the coefficients of reliability are numerical values close to 1.00.…
Validity is arguably the most important criteria for the quality of a test. The term validity refers to whether or not the test measures what it claims to measure. On a test with high validity the items will be closely linked to the test’s intended focus. For many certification and licensure tests this means that the items will be highly related to a specific job or occupation. If a test has poor validity then it does not measure the job-related content and competencies it ought to. When this is the case, there is no justification for using the test results for their intended purpose. There are several ways to estimate the validity of a test including content validity, concurrent validity, and predictive validity. The face validity of a test is sometimes also mentioned.…
