What is validity ? |
It is an agreement between a test or measure & quality it is believed to measure ( is it valid ? ) |
|
|
What are the 3 types of validity evidence ? |
Construct related , Criterion related & Content related |
|
|
What is face validity ? |
When a measure appears to have validity. It isn't a statistical or numerical measure , it's used to see if something is associated with a criterion |
|
|
What is content related evidence ? |
When a test is related to the content it's testing |
|
|
What is construct underrepresentation ? |
. |
|
|
What is construct irrelevant variance ? |
. |
|
|
What is Criterion related evidence |
Let's us know how well a test goes along with another criterion |
|
|
What is predictive evidence ? |
Examines whether a test can anticipate future occurrences |
|
|
What is concurrent validity ? |
Simultaneous relationships between a test and criterion , this is applied when a test and the criterion is being measured at the same time rather now than the future ( predictive ) |
|
|
Would the SATs be considered the predictive evidence or the concurrent evidence ? How about GPA ? |
Predictive , because it challenges what you know ; while GPA is the criterion , the outcome you get from the SATs. If the SAT has a high correlation with later GPA , then it has higher predictive validity. |
|
|
What is validity coefficient |
It is the relationship between a test and the criterion, allows us to tell the extent to which a test is valid about the criterion |
|
|
What is validity coefficient squared |
It is the relationship between variation in the criterion & our knowledge of a test score * THERE CAN BE VALUE IN BOTH HIGHER & LOWER VALIDITY COEFFICIENTS, DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION * |
