Reliability
100
A scale in which the units of measurement between the numbers on the scale are all equal in size.
What is Interval Scale
100
An indication of whether the interment measures what it claims to measure.
What is Validity
100
A property of measurement in which assigning a score of zero indicates an absence of the variable being measured
What is Absolute Zero
100
Measure taken by carefully observing and recording behavior
What is Behavioral Measure
100
An indication of the consistency or stability of a measuring instrument
What is Reliability
200
A scale in which objects or individuals are assigned to categories that have no numerical properties
What is Nominal Scale
200
The degree to which a measuring instrument accurately measures a theoretical construct or trait that it is designed to measure.
What is Construct Validity
200
A property of measurement in which a difference of 1 is the same amount throughout the entire scale
What is Equal Unit Size
200
A measure of the degree of relationship between two sets of scores. It can vary between -1 and +1
What is Correlation Coefficient
200
A reliability coefficient determined by assessing the degree of relationship between scores on two equivalent tests
What is Alternate-forms Reliability
300
A scale in which objects or individuals are categorized and the categories from a rank order along a continuum.
What is Ordinal Scale
300
The extent to which a measuring instrument covers a representative sample of the domain of behaviors to be measured
What is Content Validity
300
A property of measurement in which objects that are different receive different scores
What is Identity
300
Name both: A. An inverse relationship between two variables B.A direct relationship between two variables
What is Negative Correlation and Positive Correlation.
300
A reliability coefficient that assesses the agreement of observations made by two or more raters or judges.
What is Interrater Reliability
400
A scale in which in addition to order and equal units of measurement there is an absolute zero that indicates an absence of the variable;e being measured.
What is Ratio Scale
400
The extent to which a measuring instrument accurately predicts behavior or ability in a given area
What is Criterion Validity
400
A property of measurement in which the ordering of numbers reflects the ordering of the variable
What is Magnitude
400
Measure of bodily activity such as pulse or blood pressure that may be taken with a piece of equipment
What is Physical Measure
400
A reliability coefficient determined by the scores on one half of a measure with scores on the other half of the measure
What is Split Half Reliability
500
Variables that usually consist of whole number units or categories and are made up of chinks of units that are detached and distinct from one another
What is Discrete Variable
500
The extent to which a measuring instrument appears valid on its surface
What is Face Validity
500
Measurement instrument used to assess individual differences in various content areas
What is Test
500
Usually questionnaires or interviews that measure how people report that they act, think, or feel
What is Self-Report Measure
500
A reliability coefficient determined by assessing the degree of relationship between scores on the same test administered on two different occasions
What is Test/Retest Reliability
