Question
Answer
heart of personnel psychology   show
🗑
show people are different. Not only in respects to physical characteristics, but in a lot of other ways as well (e.g., some people are outgoing, shy, creative, unimaginative, etc.)  
🗑
goal of scientists and practitioners is to describe what?   show
🗑
show the assignment of numerals to objects or events according to rules.  
🗑
show "how much?"  
🗑
Psychological measurement is principally concerned with what?   show
🗑
Qualitative   show
🗑
Quantitative   show
🗑
Nominal Scales   show
🗑
Ordinal Scales   show
🗑
show provides rankings that are in equal intervals. (e.g., 2 to 5 is the same distance as 12 to 15). The biggest difference is that there is no TRUE ZERO. (for example, temperature at 0 degrees doesn’t mean an absence of temperature).  
🗑
Ratio Scales   show
🗑
Raw Scores   show
🗑
show nomial or ordinal scales.  
🗑
show intelligence, aptitude, and personality scales are ________ measures. They indicate not the amounts of intelligence, aptitude, or personality traits of individuals, but rather their rank order with respect to the traits in question.  
🗑
the most important purpose of psychological measures   show
🗑
how best are psychological measures evaluated?   show
🗑
show Testing is systematic in these three areas (being systematic reduces effects of outside contaminants. Also important factors to consider when selecting and classifying a test.  
🗑
show Decide measure’s purpose, define attribute, develop measure plan, write items, pilot study&traditional item analysis, item analysis using item response theory (IRT), Select items, Determine reliability & gather evidence for validity, Revise&update items  
🗑
show (e.g., will it be used for research, predict future performance, evaluate performance adequacy, etc.)  
🗑
Defining the attribute   show
🗑
show ______is a road map of the content, format, items, and administrative conditions for the measure)  
🗑
show twice as many items should be written than needed because a lot of items won’t make the final version of the measurement  
🗑
show administer the measure to a sample that is representative of the target population  
🗑
show a. Distractor analysis b. Item difficulty analysis c. Item discrimination analysis  
🗑
Distractor analysis   show
🗑
show evaluate how difficult it is to answer each item correctly  
🗑
show evaluate whether the response to a particular item is related to responses on the other items included in the measure  
🗑
Conducting an item analysis using item response theory (IRT)   show
🗑
show Based on pilot study and item analysis, items are selected to be included in the measure.  
🗑
show Does the measure score the same over when given to someone twice and does the measure actually measure the construct.  
🗑
show Some items in the 1990’s might not be applicable when giving in the 2000’s.  
🗑
Affective tests are designed to measure   show
🗑
show efficiency (e.g., time limit, group vs individual administration, computer vs paper and pencil tests).  
🗑
show (e.g., number checking) consist of many easy items, but time limits are so stringent that no one can finish all the items.  
🗑
Power Tests   show
🗑
Standardization or (normative sample)   show
🗑
Standardized Tests   show
🗑
show More common than published, standardized tests. Typically these are classroom tests, usually constructed by a teacher or trainer in an informal manner for a single administration.  
🗑
show content, ease of administration, scoring, Cost, interpretation, and face validity  
🗑
Face validity   show
🗑
show a measurement procedure that refers to its freedom from unsystematic errors of measurement. (i.e., does it produce the same score over and over on the same individual?)  
🗑
Reliability coefficient   show
🗑
Coefficient of determination   show
🗑
Coefficient of stability   show
🗑
parallel form   show
🗑
Coefficient of equivalence   show
🗑
goal of internal consistency measures   show
🗑
show Coefficient alpha - cronbach's alpha  
🗑
Split-Half Reliability Estimate   show
🗑
Coefficient of stability and equivalence   show
🗑
Rater or (scorer) variance   show
🗑
show How much do two different raters agree on the same administration of a single test.  
🗑
coefficient   show
🗑
two ways to classify the content of a test   show
🗑
show efficiency (individual/group), time (speed/power), standardized, non-standardized  
🗑
show objective, subjective  
🗑
