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)

Test Development Process

The process of creating a new test involves generating ideas, trying out the test on a sample group, analyzing the results, revising the test based on the analysis, and repeating the tryout and analysis until the test is deemed reliable and valid.

Item Analysis

The process of analyzing the individual items (questions) on a test to determine their effectiveness. This involves examining factors such as item difficulty, discrimination, and distractor effectiveness.

Test Tryout Sample

A group of test-takers who take a test during the development process to provide data for analysis and revision.

Test Conceptualization

The initial phase of test development where the test developer conceptualizes the purpose, content, and format of the test.

Untried-out Test

A type of test that is developed without going through rigorous tryouts, item analysis, and revision. These tests may not be as reliable or valid as those that undergo a more thorough development process.

What is the AIS?

The Asexuality Identification Scale (AIS) is a validated 12-item questionnaire designed to measure asexuality.

Signup and view all the flashcards

Why was the AIS created?

The AIS was developed to identify people who experience a lack of sexual attraction, but may not identify as "asexual".

Signup and view all the flashcards

How does the AIS work?

The AIS has been proven to successfully distinguish between asexual and sexual individuals by accurately classifying self-identified asexual individuals and excluding the majority of sexual individuals.

What are the benefits of using the AIS?

The AIS demonstrates incremental validity, indicating that it's a better predictor of asexuality compared to existing measures of sexual orientation. It provides unique information about asexuality.

What is the significance of the AIS?

The AIS is a reliable and valid instrument for screening for asexuality. It helps address the need for a standardized measure to identify and understand asexuality.

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.
