What percentile does an IQ of 100 represent?
What percentile does an IQ of 100 represent?
An intelligence quotient (IQ) of 100 represents the average intellectual ability, indicating that a person scores within the 50th percentile, meaning they perform better than half of the population.
Confidentiality Breach
Confidentiality Breach
Dr. Harmon violated research participant confidentiality by storing personally identifiable information (names linked to code numbers) on his laptop, potentially making it accessible to others. This breach could lead to participants' identities and sensitive data being compromised.
Parallel Forms & Split-Half Reliability
Parallel Forms & Split-Half Reliability
Parallel forms reliability refers to the consistency of scores between two versions of a test designed to measure the same construct. Split-half reliability, on the other hand, assesses reliability by correlating scores from two halves of a single test administered once.

Study Notes
Ethical Responsibilities in Psychology
- Disciplines have a responsibility to act ethically and promote societal well-being.
- Disciplines should develop ethical awareness and self-correcting mechanisms.
Client Behavior Analysis
- A client's behavior can vary across different situations.
- Contrasting reports from a client's teacher/peers versus parents can indicate varying interaction styles based on the environment.
Psychological Assessment Tools
- Stanford-Binet 5 test includes subtests measuring fluid reasoning, including verbal and nonverbal aspects.
- High scores on the 16 PF's Factor E indicate assertiveness, self-assurance, and independence.
- The Pearson correlation coefficient measures the relationship between two variables. Spearman's rho is used for rank-order data.
Statistical Concepts
- The principle of least squares is used to determine the regression line.
- The interquartile range is not significantly affected by outliers.
- The standard error of measurement, when combined with a test score, can provide a confidence interval for the true score.
Test Formats and Administration
- Multiple-choice tests assess knowledge and abilities.
- Online test access has benefits and potential risks.
- An IQ of 100 for the general population is at the 50th percentile.
Research Ethics and Confidentiality
- Protecting participant confidentiality is crucial in research.
- Sharing data without participant consent, such as storing linked data on a personal laptop reachable by only the researcher and a spouse, violates confidentiality.
Test Reliability and Validity
- Reliability, a core psychometric concept, is attributed to Spearman.
- Parallel forms of tests have equal means and variances. Split-half reliability is measured by correlating scores from equivalent test halves.
