The tripartite view of validity includes content validity, criterion validity, and
a. discriminate validity
b. convergent validity
c. content validity
d. construct validity
Q. 2A researcher wants to measure content-sampling error with a Likert scale test. Which of the following methods would be best?
a. Test-retest
b. Coefficient Alpha
c. The Kuder-Richardson formulas
d. Interrater differences
Q. 3A researcher is concerned with measuring internal consistency reliability and has decided to use the Kuder- Richardson Formulas with a Likert Scale test. This is a problem because the:
a. test does not have dichotomous test items
b. researcher needs a second test for comparison
c. test does not measure internal consistency reliability
d. researcher is concerned with content sampling error
Q. 4The researcher reports the standard error of measurement (SEM). This is:
a. a different term for the standard deviation
b. the spread of scores of a single individual if he/she took a test repeated times
c. the spread of scores of a group of test takers on a single test
d. a measure to use alone as an index of reliability
Q. 5The researcher determines that the reliability coefficient is .65. This means the reliability is:
a. generally acceptable because it is over .50
b. generally acceptable for only interrater reliability
c. not generally acceptable
d. not generally acceptable unless it is a new test
