7. How were threats to internal validity addressed in each study, and what additional threats were identified (that were not addressed)? (Be sure to provide a rationale for your conclusions; pp. 244-248) The testing and instruments of the study can be a potential threat to the internal validity. In this study, researchers utilized the Schutte self-report emotional intelligence test, which were studied by Kun et al due to its clear and conclusiveness. The scale from the study showed good internal validity and test-retest reliability. The correlation of the scale with the related constructs supports is validity. The scale was in Persian, and it has proven to be valid and reliable. Therefore, the instruments of the study did not pose a threat
How were threats to external validity addressed in this study, and what additional threats were identified (that were not addressed)? (Be sure to provide a rationale for your conclusions; pp. 250-253) Inadequate sampling is a threat to the external validity. The threat to the external validity was addressed by having male and female nurses were included in the study, which represent nursing population. The study can then be generalized to the nursing population.
The big five factor inventory were introduced and cross-culturally tested by rammstedt, which demonstrated acceptable discriminant, convergent and external validity, as well as test-retest reliability. The Persian translated version was previously used in two other studies in Iran, which showed acceptable validity and reliability, which provided existence of the five factors in the original version. The replicatable treatment of the study is another threat to the external validity, however it was addressed by the study. Study consisted of 31 males and 291 females, which cannot be generalized to the nursing population are less. The decreased well-being and increased job stress in relation to emotional dissonance has been replicated by other research studies. The threat to the external validity was addressed in the study. The history and treatment interaction contribute to the well-being and job stress could pose a threat to the external validity, which is not mentioned in the
Based upon your reading and answers to the previous question, what is your overall conclusion about the usefulness of each study to practice? State a clear conclusion and provide support for your conclusion. I think the study is useful in practice. There have been several studies such as Chang et al. Shimizutan and Withworth, cited by the researchers that further supports the study. The conclusion is that knowing that the personal and emotional intelligence does have direct positive relationships with the nurses’ competency, job satisfaction, conflict management and so on. All those factors influence patient care outcomes. It is useful in practice as it is also mentioned in the article that nursing leaders/management should utilized those tools to incorporate appropriate strategies to achieve desired
