Psychological Assessment

Question 1Comedian Rodney Dangerfield was cited in the text to illustrate a point about how which of the following is viewed?

 

  test validation

 

  content validity

 

  face validity

 

  construct validity

 

 Question 2Which of the following is TRUE for parallel forms of a test?

 

  The means of the observed scores are equal for the two forms.

 

  The variances of the estimated scores are equal for the two forms.

 

  The means and variances of the observed scores are equal for the two forms.

 

  The means and variances of the estimated scores are equal for the two forms.

 

 Question 3As the reliability of a test increases, the standard error of measurement

 

  increases.

 

  decreases.

 

  remains the same.

 

  alternately increases, then decreases.

 

 Question 4The form of criterion-related validity that reflects the degree to which a test score correlates with a criterion measure that was obtained some time subsequent to the test score is known as

 

  predictive validity.

 

  construct validity.

 

  concurrent validity.

 

  content validity.

 

 Question 5As mentioned in Chapter 6 of your text, the measurement of content validity is particularly important in

 

  classroom settings, where tests will form the basis of a grade.

 

  employment settings, where tests may be used to promote employees.

 

  courtroom settings, where tests may be used to determine competence.

 

  screening for the potential of emission of violent or aggressive behavior.

 

 Question 6In their 2012 study, Horin, Hernandez & Donoso (2012) concluded all of the following EXCEPT which of the following?

 

  When conducting psychological evaluations with diverse populations, it is critical to keep in mind cultural factors that may impact test results.

 

  Evidence-based guidelines are needed to help inform assessments with culturally diverse groups and these guidelines need to be included in test manuals.

 

  The specificity of the APA Standards provide clear guidelines for adapting standardized tests for assessing culturally and ethnically diverse populations in clinical practice.

 

  As standardized tests are developed, it is essential that they adequately address the cultural and linguistic differences of our diverse population.

 

The answer can be found on page 95 in Horin, E. V., Hernandez, B., Donoso, O. A. (2012). Behind closed doors: Assessing individuals from diverse backgrounds. Journal of Vocational Rehabilitation. 37(2), 87-97.

 

Question 7According to Chin (2014), as cited in your textbook, a lack of replicability in psychology affects the work of

 

  the police.

 

  judges.

 

  court clerks.

 

  All of these

 

 Question 8Gonsalvez and Crowe (2014) concluded that psychotherapy supervisors’ judgments of supervisees’ competence is typically

 

  compromised by leniency errors.

 

  compromised by severity errors.

 

  reasonably accurate given subsequent ratings.

 

  unreliable in the light of subsequent ratings

 

 Question 9Face validity refers to

 

  the most preferred method for determining validity.

 

  another name for content validity.

 

  the appearance of relevancy of the test items.

 

  validity determined by means of face-to-face interviews.

 

 Question 10Relating scores obtained on a test to other test scores or data from other assessment procedures is typically done in an effort to establish the __________ validity of a test.

 

  content-related

 

  criterion-related

 

  face

 

  about-face

 

 Question 11In the test-retest method to estimate reliability

 

  the time frame between interviews must be relatively short.

 

  separate interviews are conducted by certified raters.

 

  a minimum of two re-tests are required.

 

  All of these

 

Question 12As the term is applied to a test, validity is a judgment or estimate of how well a test

 

  measures what it purports to measure.

 

  measures what it purports to measure in a particular context.

 

  satisfies the deductions that could logically be made from inferences about it.

 

  All of these

 

Question 13Item response theory

 

(IRT) focuses on the

 

  circumstances that inspired the development of the test.

 

  test administration variables.

 

  individual items of a test.

 

  None of the above

 

Question 14Stanley (1971) wrote that in classical test theory, a so-called “true score” is “not the ultimate fact in the book of the recording angel.” By this, Stanley meant that

 

  it would be imprudent to trust in Divine influence when estimating variance.

 

  the amount of test variance that is true relative to error may never be known.

 

  it is near impossible to separate fact from fiction with regard to “true scores.”

 

  All of these

 

 Question 15Which of the following is TRUE of test bias as compared to test fairness?

 

  Test bias is dependent on statistical analyses while test fairness relates to values.

 

  Test bias is dependent on values while test fairness relates to statistical analyses.

 

  Whether a test is fair can be answered with certainty while whether a test is biased cannot.

 

  None of these statements are true.
