Reliability

Which Ones are Reliable Sources of Information? There are several ways in which one can judge the reliability of an online source from the criteria listed in the PowerPoint: The library, online video, audio, and visuals. The library is a very good way to judge the reliability of the sources found online. Peer reviews and scholarly articles can be found within the archives of the library. According to Angelo State University (2015), peer review are articles written by experts and are reviewed…

education was not enough to produce the expected result to the hypothesis. The statistical effect size is less significant when pre-intervention and post-intervention MASS/ProQOL measurements are compared; p-values of 0.70 are considered to have a low reliability (Grove, Gray and Burns 2016)…

Individuals researching within the health and social care environment may come across many ethical issues and professionals need to be able to accept service users’ choices and opinions. An ethical issue is when someone has to judge what is right and what is wrong and being able to make the right choice without disrespecting service users’ opinions and choices and treating every individual fairly and with dignity. By staying away from ethical issues will reduce the amount of conflict and will…

The question that I selected for this week’s discussion, is one that is listed among the 10 question that was submitted for the research questions assignment. The question is the following: Are individuals with dual diagnoses, such as developmental disability and mental disorder less likely to receive appropriate mental health assistance than individuals with a mental disorder only? The statistical analysis that would be used for this research question is factorial ANOVA. According to Sukal…

Tests need to be accurate (i.e. valid) for the researcher to know the test can be trusted. Tests have a concept or framework that guide what the test is supposed to measure. Construct-based validity evidence is used to measure to the degree that the test is measuring that construct. This type of validity has two subparts: discriminant validity and convergent validity. When constructs are not supposed to be related, discriminant validity checks to see if they are in fact unrelated. On the other…

Research Methodology There are very few studies on yoga intervention on alcohol and substance abuse. There ae several factors associated with substance abuse that prevents patients from relapse. Participants will be select based on the following criteria: the age, the employment status and the patient admitted for long-term inpatient treatment. The patient age 18 and over, who are currently employed in a firm and who are admitted in the facility as inpatient will be recruited for the research.…

sample” (the general population), “treatment sample” (adolescents under treatment for alcohol use), and the “validation sample” (adolescents with psychological/behavioral problems). This wide range helps add to the data available when determining reliability and validity (Donlon,…

significant figures rounds to 4.58. Consistent adherence to these rules is crucial in this course because of the amount of information contained in significant figures-- the number of significant figures can reveal the accuracy of a calculation, the reliability of data, and the specificity with which it was measured. It follows, then, that under-reporting in significant figures wastes information and over-reporting is, in fact, "lying" about the specificity of measurement and calculation. Both…

The values for the Axial length and Keratometry obtained through the various methods as mentioned above should be consistent so as to rule out sources of error. The need to repeat these measurements can be obtained based upon the HOLLADAY CRITERIA which states: Repeat Km if: Km47D for either eye Difference between the two eyes >1 D Corneal cylinder doesnot correlate well with the refractive cylinder Repeat AL if: AL< 22mm AL> 25mm Difference between the two eyes > 0.3 mm Doesnot…

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…
