    Study Notes

    Psychological Assessment

    Scaling Test Scores

    • Stanine: a method of scaling test scores on a 9-point standard scale with a mean of 5 and a standard deviation of 2
    • Linear transformation: a method that retains a direct numerical relationship to the original raw score
    • Non-linear transformation: required when the data under consideration are not normally distributed
    • Normalizing the distribution: involves stretching the skewed curve into the shape of a normal curve and creating a corresponding scale of standard scores

    Hypothesis Testing

    • Hypothesis testing: a statistical method that uses a sample data to evaluate a hypothesis about a population
    • Alternative hypothesis: states there is a change, difference, or relationship
    • Null hypothesis: no change, no difference, or no relationship
    • Alpha level or level of significance: used to define the concept of "very unlikely" in a hypothesis test
    • Critical region: composed of extreme values that are very unlikely to be obtained if the null hypothesis is true

    Directional Hypothesis Test or One-Tailed Test

    • T-test: used to test hypotheses about an unknown population mean and variance
    • Sample must consist of independent observations: that is, if there is no consistent, predictable relationship between the first observation and the second
    • The population that is sampled must be normal; if not, use a large sample

    Correlation Coefficient

    • Correlation coefficient: a number that provides an index of the strength of the relationship between two things
    • Correlation: an expression of the degree and direction of correspondence between two things
    • Positive correlation: same direction, either both going up or both going down
    • Negative correlation: inverse direction, either one goes up and the other goes down
    • Zero correlation: no correlation
    • Pearson correlation/Pearson product-moment coefficient of correlation: used when two variables being correlated are continuous and linear
    • Spearman Rho/Rank-order correlation coefficient: frequently used if the sample size is small and when both sets of measurement are in ordinal

    Levels of Tests

    • Level A: anyone under the direction of a supervisor or consultant
    • Level B: psychometricians and psychologists only

    • Motivational Interview: used by counselors and clinicians to gather information about some problematic behavior, while simultaneously attempting to address it therapeutically
    • Portfolio: samples of one's ability and accomplishment, usually in industrial settings for evaluation of future performances
    • Case History Data: refers to records, transcripts, and other accounts, in written, pictorial, or other form that preserve archival information, official and informal accounts, and other data and items relevant to an assessee
    • Behavioral Observation: monitoring of actions of others or oneself by visual or electronic means, while recording quantitative and/or qualitative information regarding those actions

    • General Aptitude Test Battery (GATB): measures a wide range of aptitudes

    Critical Thinking Test

    • Watson Glaser Critical Thinking Test (W-GCTA): designed to assess a person's critical thinking abilities

    Mental Alertness Tests

    • Thurstone Test of Mental Alertness (TMA): measures sensitivity to a range of clinical conditions
