Validity

student is a special education student), that careful consideration has to be made prior to considering the validity of the assessment that is being used. I learned that essentially if an assessment has a reliability coefficient that is .80 to 1.00 then it would be considered reliable to use. However, if the reliability coefficient is below .80 then it should likely not be used because the validity of the test could be questioned and that would be a grave pitfall in utilizing in part with other…

field research so as to gain more evidential knowledge on the chimpanzees so as to be certain of the final details. The information that I have achieved from the databases and people as well as written materials may be obsolete and may have little validity thus the need to establish a field research to have well updated and validated data. I had a chance to interact with the chimpanzees and thus learn more about them assisting me in…

In the past, studies have shown that the sit and reach along with altered versions show validity for evaluating hamstring flexibility. However, they do not show a correlation to the assessment of lumbar flexibility. Nevertheless, within this article, they discussed how the hip joint, lumbar and thoracic spine contribute to the overall performance…

Understanding qualitative data is an important step in becoming a competent researcher. One such article that many college students study describes how student-athletes use Twitter and how they react to judgmental tweets. Through examining the population and purpose of this study, research questions, findings, and limitations and implications of this study, students can become competent researchers and learn why student-athletes use Twitter and how they react to controversial tweets. Population…

In the experiment conducted, researchers were careful to control for any internal validity issues, aside from the use of a convenience sampling (Johns, Schmader, & Marten, 2005). However, an external validity problem occurs when looking at the actual theory of stereotype threat and the result findings said to mitigate the effect. An initial argument could be made that due to research being conducted…

1. Background Students who are enrolled for business and social sciences studies often find themselves having to compulsorily register for a module in research methodology and statistics. (Onwuegbuzie, 2000) asserts that the role of statistics is to orientate the would be graduate to the world of research, which improves both their numeracy skills and further improve their…

having capable guardians in certain areas reduces crime as well as studying the victimology of similar offenders. This theory lacks empirical validity as these elements have not been researched together. However, Routine Activities Theory has been one of the most tested theories including the element of the absence of a capable guardian has empirical validity. So,…

CONCLUSION: To conclude, the significance of our goals were a) To provide the face validity of the rodent model of PMS and b) Have a well-characterized animal model for such a prevalent form of ASD for testing potential therapeutics for the syndrome. We performed the 5-CSRT task that requires rodent’s active attention to perform the task, thus detecting the underlying attentional deficit. Our results confirmed the PMS phenotype in the rat model, as observed by their higher latencies on…

General Information This paper is of a test review of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) with the essence of psychometric properties. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator or MBTI is a self-report, forced-choice questionnaire regarding personality inventory.

acknowledging on what points the two sides agree. In this case, Christianson recognizes that biology is a factor, specifically that gender can affect aptitude, spatial awareness, and the obvious differences in hormone levels, effectively acknowledging the validity of the counter-argument. She disputes, however, that these differences are significant enough to support Lawrence?s claim (Ramage et al., 1998). She goes on to identify specifically why the counter-argument wrong, using her own expert…
