-Questions-You uploaded just the demographic questions. If you are conducting quantitative research you will also need to inlclude a hypothesis and null hypothesis for each approved research question

     (Reference: 5.2d)

4. Claiming that a general psychology chapter test was unfair, a student argued that the test was heavily weighted with material related to four key concepts, rather than the possible twelve presented by the textbook author. This student was making an argument based on his awareness of what kind of validity?

   • a. content validity

   • b. construct validity

   • c. criterion-related validity

   • d. translation validity

5. What type of validity is assessed if an “integrity scale” is given to a group of prisoners and contrasted with the performance of a group of Rotary Club members?

   • a. content validity

   • b. face validity

   • c. criterion-related validity

   • d. translation validity
     (Reference: 5.2e)

6. A newly created graduate school performance prediction exam is given to a set of students. All are admitted to graduate school, and their performance is tracked. After five years, scores of the group who successfully completed the program are compared with scores of students who failed to graduate. This would be an example of what type of validity?

   • a. face validity

   • b. predictive validity

   • c. convergent validity

   • d. translation validity
     (Reference: 5.2e)

7. In the best of all worlds, we want convergent correlation coefficients to be as ___ as possible and discriminant correlation coefficients to be as ___ as possible.

   • a. high, low

   • b. high, high

   • c. low, high

   • d. low, low
     (Reference: 5.2e)

8. What type of threat to construct validity exists if a single set of measures is used to assess a program?

   • a. mono-construct bias

   • b. mono-operation bias

   • c. mono-method bias

   • d. monolithic bias
     (Reference: 5.2f)

9. What type of threat to construct validity exists when a researcher consciously or unconsciously communicates the desired response in her or his approach?

   • a. hypothesis confirmation

   • b. evaluation apprehension

   • c. experimenter expectancy

   • d. social desirability
     (Reference: 5.2g3)

10. Like __________validity, construct validity is related to generalizing.

• a. external

• b. discriminant

• c. convergent

• d. content
  (Reference: 5.2d)

1. Reliance on tried-and-true methods like self-report poses no particular issues in terms of threats to validity.

• a. True

• b. False
  (Reference: 5.2f)

1. Inadequate preoperational explication of constructs is most likely to occur when a researcher charges hastily into a program of measurement of a new construct without critically thinking about the construct.

• a. True

• b. False
  (Reference: 5.2f)

1. The overarching category of measurement validity (the one that supersedes and connects the others) is construct validity.

• a. True

• b. False
  (Reference: 5.2e)

1. The strongest way to demonstrate construct validity is through face validity.

• a. True

• b. False
  (Reference: 5.2e)

1. Examining whether test performance is correlated with job performance in a particular field is a form of predictive validity.

• a. True

• b. False
  (Reference: 5.2e)
