External validity

401 teachers across the US. Kourmousi, Darviri, Varvogli, & Alexopoulos (2015) adapted the TSI to a Greek version and ran a comparison against the Perceived Stress Scale in which they were able to obtain similar results as well as show convergent validity in a group of 3.447 teachers. Individual influences on reliability might be how Laney is experiencing her life right now, she is having trouble focusing which may cause her to misunderstand questions or rate them inappropriately. The rater…

will differ which is a limitation of the study. The primary analysis will be between control groups pre and post-test scores and experimental participant pre-test, post-concussion and follow-up test scores. The control group is used to assess the validity of the battery, ensuring the scores baseline and follow-up scores are the same. Participants will be recruited as they are representative of the population being studied and the concussive circumstances in which will be specific to the area…

Arguments are when one offers a premise (or premises) to support a conclusion. Two main methods of support are joint and branching. Joint support is when related premises support the conclusion. On their own, each premise is not enough to constitute a valid argument for the conclusion so they have to work together in order for the conclusion to be reached. Branching support is when there are multiple, unrelated premises that lead to the same conclusion. These two types are very different but…

While there were no ethical issues, this study had a few limitations. One involving reliance on the self-report measures of abuse, neglect and self-harm that it provides no way to differentiate the actual occurrence of any of these. Other limitations discussed how the study was correlational and cross-sectional by nature, and that it is possible the order of these relationships is completely different than what results showed. For example, although theoretical literature suggests that affect…

communication skills client might do better drawing than verbally discussing issues. Weaknesses that are included within the test include the inconsistency of the test due to the multiple versions and interpretations available that affect the reliability and validity of the test.

These concerns can also affect the results and interpretations, which can cause adverse effects to do the cultural…

Prompt 2. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the lightness constancy and how it works. Including how the visual system works with constancies, to properly attribute uniform color to a surface. The way to go about the task is with an example. Imagine there are two surfaces next to each other. One appears uniformly white since the light source is evenly distributed throughout the surface. The other has surface patches, a non-uniformity in the light being reflected off of the surface. So…

Traditional Methods of Validity vs. the Process-Focused Model Amy Wilhelm Kaplan University PS505: Testing, Measurement and Assessment Dr. Raymond Brogan December 16, 2014 Traditional Methods of Validity vs. the Process-Focused Model Testing and assessments are used continuously in many areas of clinical psychology. The testing instrument needs to be considered reliable and valid. Cohen, Swerdlik and Struman (2013) define validity as being the estimate of how well the test…

local dog shelter.” Is this argument logically valid? Validity can only be proven if it takes the form that makes it impossible for the premises to be true and the conclusion to be false. If the argument is valid it is guaranteed that the conclusion is true. When looking at the above argument does that prove whether or not those are morally right or wrong? To do this, look at the argument first and see if it meets the conditionals of validity. If so, you have a sound argument. The argument above…
