Questions and Answers

What is the primary concern with solely using AVEN membership as a criterion for identifying asexual individuals?

  • AVEN members don't properly represent the broader range of asexuality experiences.
  • AVEN members are not truly asexual, they are just seeking a community.
  • AVEN membership requires a formal diagnosis of asexuality, which is unreliable.
  • Not all asexual individuals are members of AVEN, so it creates a skewed sample. (correct)
  • What is the main purpose of the Asexuality Identification Scale (AIS)?

  • To measure the level of sexual attraction experienced by an individual.
  • To diagnose individuals with asexuality using a medical approach.
  • To provide a validated tool for screening individuals for asexuality. (correct)
  • To distinguish between AVEN members and non-AVEN asexual individuals.
  • How many items are included in the final version of the Asexuality Identification Scale (AIS)?

  • 25
  • 37
  • 8
  • 12 (correct)
  • What was established 'using data from the same participants in Stage 3'?

    <p>Because the difficulty of the items they are presented with, depends on their performance on prior items.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Study Notes

    Test Development

    • Tests are not created equally; good test creation is a thoughtful process of application of established principles.

    • Test development is a broad term encompassing all stages of test creation.

    • Test development follows five distinct stages:

      • Conceptualization (forming an idea for the test)
      • Construction (writing or revising items, formatting, and setting rules)
      • Tryout (Administering the test to a sample, comparing whole test and item performance, and collecting data)
      • Item analysis (analyzing the data from the tryout, determining if items are good, need revision, or should be discarded; assessments of item reliability, validity, and discrimination)
      • Revision (modifying the content or format to improve measurement effectiveness based on the item analysis and the tryout)
    • The process may involve several revisions and tryouts based on further analysis of test item and sample responses.
