Face Validity
It looks right.

example: News agency to pop.
Content Validity
What was suppose to be measured.
example: I didn't know that was on the test!
Criterion Validity
(concurrent/predictive)
Truly measure abilities
*concurrent-at point in time
*predictive-abilities down the road
Construct Validity
Linking behavioral actions with empirical data

example: aggression test
What is the difference between null hypothesis and Research Hypothesis?
*Research-What you expect to happen
*Null- There is no difference/random chance/error
Difference between positive and inverse correlation coefficients?
Positive- Going the same direction
Inverse-Opposite Direction
.7-.8 pretty good number.
What does when a statistic is p>.05?
95% chance it didn't happen randomly.
Whats the difference between type 1 and type 2 errors?
Type 1- reject when its true

Type 2- Accept but false
Describe the relationship between validity and reliability?
Validity is more important than reliability.
How many means can you compare in an ANOVA Test?
3 or more means.
Name the (4) ways to establish reliability. Describe them.
Test-Retest, Parallel Forms (test A vs. Test B), Interrater/interobserver (different scores), Internal Consistency.
Hawthorne Effect
Do their best because they know in test group. (External Validity)
John Henry Effect
Control Group will show them! (External Validity)
Nonrepresentative (threat to validity)
sample not representative to population
Lack of Internal Validity
There isn't consistency in responses.
Demand Characteristics
Respondents gives answers you want.
Reactivity
Respondents realizing something changed
Artificiality
Not real world conditions
Multiple Treatment Interference
Other factors that could change dependent variable.
What is the degrees of freedom for chi square? for t-test?
Chi-square= (N-1)
t-test= (N-2)
Historical Effect
Natural events occurred. (Internal Validity)
Maturation Effect
Aging Development (Internal Validity)
Testing Effect
Knowing whats on test (Internal Validity)
Teacher Effect
How administered exam (Internal Validity)
Instrumentation Effect
Given under different conditions (Internal Validity)
Ceiling Effect
People doing too well (Internal Validity)
Floor Effect
People doing too poorly (Internal Validity)
Selection Bias
Unequal representation to begin with (Internal Validity)
Statistical Regression
High score first time, not likely second time (Internal Validity)
Mortality
People Drop rapidly (Internal Validity)
Random Sampling Method
*Each member in population has equal chance
*Education-Almost impossible due to educational circumstance
Systematic Sampling Method
Every nth Member will be chosen to participate.
Stratified Sampling Method
Create subgroups that try to represent sub groups of population
Cluster Sampling Method
Random sampling of groups that already exist

Example: A class, sororities. etc.
Purposive Sampling Method
Used to select certain segments of population (like students with disabilities)

*typical case-typical 4th grader in a large urban district
Snowball Sampling Method
Initial contacts to which they refer you to others.
Convenience Sampling Method
Uses groups that happen to be available. .
Sampling Bias
*Convenience
*Cannot Sample Entire Population
*Volunteerism
Whats the difference between Main and Interaction Effects?
Main- Difference in each variable

Interaction- Difference between variables
Name the three standard deviations and their percentage.
68% = 1 standard deviation
95% = 2 standard deviations
99% = 3 standard deviations
Explain Correlation.
Shows only relationship.
Does not indicate causation.
