time sampling error correct answers A researcher administers an achievement test to the same
group of participants on three different occasions. In reporting the results, he describes the error
that occurs from repeatedly testing the same individuals. This is called:
carryover effect correct answers When interviewing test takers who had an achievement test on
three different occasions, participants reported that they had remembered some of the answers
from the previous test administration. This is known as:
content sampling error correct answers In reviewing a newly developed test instrument, the
evaluator noticed that some of the items did not appear to reflect the construct being measured.
He reported there was:
interrater differences correct answers An administrator and the school psychologist were
observing a child to assess for behavioral problems. An error may occur in reviewing what the
two observers notice. This is reported as:
quality of test items correct answers Several test takers complained that items on the test were
vague and confusing. This creates concern for:
73% correct answers If the reliability coefficient of a test is determined to be .27, what
percentage is attributed to random chance or error?
alternate forms correct answers A researcher wants to measure content-sampling error and has
two versions of an achievement test available. What measure of estimating reliability would be
best in this situation?
test-retest correct answers You are attempting to account for time sampling error and decide to
administer the test a second time. In discussing reliability, you report this as what method of
estimating reliability?
split-half reliability correct answers You are reading about reliability of a test in the test manual
and notice that the researchers report using a Spearman-Brown coefficient. You can infer that
internal consistency reliability was measured using:
test does not have dichotomous test items correct answers A researcher is concerned with
measuring internal consistency reliability and has decided to use Kuder-Richardson Formulas
with a Likert Scale test. This is a problem because the:
coefficient alpha correct answers A researcher wants to measure content-sampling error with a
Likert scale test. Which of the following methods would be best?
