Spvv211 Lecture 1-5 Question 1 A distribution of scores where most people score in the area of the mean and increasingly fewer people achieve at the extremely high or low tails of the distribution, is known as a: a\. Skewed distribution b\. Normal distribution c\. Standard distribution d.Probability distribution Question 2 Testee characteristics such as demographic background can influence performance on a measure so much that results do not represent an accurate picture of the individual a. True b. False Question 3 Which of the following is NOT information psychological assessments provide users? a\. Users can uses psychological assessments to measure the effectiveness of an intervention programme b\. Measures give information about test bias. c\. Users can uses psychological assessments to gather research data to increase psychology\'s knowledge base about human behaviour or to inform policy making d.Assist in identifying interventions and therapy needs Question 4 All psychological assessments should to be administered under standardized conditions. What kind of conditions would be regarded as standardized conditions for testing? a\. Testees should be tested in a well lit environment. b\. Psychological assessments should only be administered in one day. c\. Assessments under barefully controlled conditions. d\. All assessment measures have to be appropriate for the individual or group from another context. Question 5 random sampling error can be countered by.. a\. Restarting the testing process. b Decreasing sample size c\. Increasing the sample size d.Controlling for extraneous variables, Question 6 Reliability coefficients can also be interpreted and expressed through - a. Standard measurement error - b. Mastery assessments - c. Criterion-referenced assessments - d. Standard deviation test scores Question 7 Psychology lecturer constructs an end-of-semester test for his Research Methodology class. If the test covers every topic covered in class, then it can be said that the test has high. a\. Criterion validity b\. Convergent validity c.Content validity d.Construct validity Question 8 The assessment process entalls all of the following except a\. Conducting an intake interview. b\. Synthesizing and integrating assessment information. c\. Conducting a pre-assessment therapy session with the testee. d\. Choosing the assessment battery. Question 9 Test users have to recognize that there is always Uncertainty that is present when interpreting assessment results. Which of the following in NOT one of the reasons? a\. There might be validity error. c. There might be test bias. Question 10 Which of the following answers is NOT an administrative error in the field of Psychology a\. Variations in assessment conditions b\. Variations in scorings or ratings c\. variations in instructions d\. Variations in Instrumentadministrations Question 11 Reliability coefficients can also be interpreted and expressed through a.Strandard measurement error b.Mastery assessment c.Criteon referenced assesments d\. Standard deviation test scores Question 12 Which form of response bias occurs when a respondent registers no clear preferences or dislikes during the assessment process? - a. Halo effect - b. Extremity bias - c. Acquiescence bias - d. Purposive falsification Question 13 The type of reliability that measures the external consistency of ratings between assessment scorers is known as - a. Inter-scorer reliability - b. Inter-item reliability - c. Intra-scorer reliability - d. Intra-equivalence reliability Question 14 To interpret a test taker\'s performance, a practitioner needs to compare their scores to a relevant, standardized sample. This sample is known as the a\. Discriminator b\. Predictor value c\. Criterion reference d\. Norm Question 15 Reliability is primarily concerned with a.Accuracy b\. Replicability c\. Authenticity d\. Consistency Question 16 A reliability coefficient typically holds a numeral index ranging from \_ to a. 0-1 b. 1-100 c. 0.1-0.10 d. 1-10 e. Question 17 The type of reliability that asks whether a measure wilt deliver the same results when applied at different time intervals is known as a\. Alternate-form reliability b\. Equivalence reliability c\. Test-retest reliability d\. Representative reliability Question 18 The standard deviation primarily represents: a\. How scores vary or deviate from the mean b.The average amount of variability in a data set c\. The difference between the largest and smallest score in a data set d\. The degree to which individual scores are distributed around the mean Question 19 Which measure of central tendency computes the average value within a distribution? a\. The mean b\. The mode c\. The median d\. The midrange Question 20 Which measure of central tendency highlights the most frequently occurring score? a\. The mean b\. The mode c\. The median Question 21 When a distribution is positively skewed, this usually means that a\. A test Was difficult, and few people answered the questions correctly b\. A test was easy, and many people answered the questions correctly c\. The test was completed by highly intelligent test-takers d\. The test was completed by below-average intelligence test-takers Question 22 Assessment measures can be administered under any conditions if the participants give informed consent to partake in the test. Select one: a. True b. False Question 23 Test scores reflect the characteristic or attribute being measured as well as a degree of measurement error. Select one: a. True b. False Question 24 Samuel works for the Psychometrics Committee of the Professional Board for Psychology. While evaluating a certain psychological assessment, he realizes that the test has a propensity for producing results that are systematically unfair to a particular group of participants. This phenomenon is known as a\. Contextual insensitivity b\. Test bias c\. Differential invariance d.Measurement error Question 25 Test results represent only one source of information in the assessment process. Select one: a. True b. False Question 26 Luthando administers a set of three psychometrically distinct tests to a group of 8-year-old boys to assess neurological development. She is thus making use of a(n): a\. Multidimensional assessment tool b\. Assessment battery c\. Psychometric system d\. Measurement instrument
