  1. 1Ross sits a psychology end of semester exam and gets a 45 / 100. The unit convener infers that this means he likely does not have a sound understanding of the content covered this semester. What kind of application of assessment does this cover?
    1. Atest
    2. Binference
    3. Cdata gathering
    4. Dassessment
  2. 2Which of the following examples best demonstrates an ‘assessment’ ?
    1. AAngelica answers questions on an Eysenck neuroticism questionnaire and scores a 17/20. Based on the norms, this is a high neuroticism score - and Angelica may be highly neurotic.
    2. BA psychologist, Georgia, administers the Depression Anxiety Stress Score (DASS) for one of her clients, who scores off the scale for depression. Considering this, their conversations in therapy, and her Beck Depression score, Georgia diagnoses her client with Major Depressive Disorder.
    3. CPhoebe takes a Buzzfeed quiz to find out what type of bread she is. She gets sourdough. She then deduces that she probably spends too much time procrastinating.
  3. 3What are some of the reasons that clinicians are unreliable judges? Select all that apply
    1. ASeeking patterns where they don’t exist
    2. BCreating hypotheses with no evidence
    3. CConfirmation bias
    4. DHeuristics (e.g. availability, representativeness)
    5. EToo easily trusting
  4. 4Which of the following are types of tests used by clinicians (Clinical Psychologists)? Select all that apply
    1. ADiagnostic interviews
    2. BObservational methods
    3. CBehavioural tests
    4. DSelf-report questionnaires
    5. EScientific experiments
  5. 5Which of these situations is more likely to require a fully structured diagnostic interview?
    1. AA clinical situation with a therapist and a client
    2. BA research interview to gather norms for eating disorders in teens
    3. CAn examination of IQ
    4. DInterviewing a child who saw a crime
  6. 6What does kappa measure when examining structured diagnostic interviews?
    1. ABoth the diagnostic interview and the validation criterion standard diagnosing someone with a disorder.
    2. BThe absence of disease
    3. CSomeone without the validation criterion diagnosis will not be diagnosed in a diagnostic interview.
    4. DThe amount of agreement in the diagnostic interview and the validation criterion, corrected for chance.
  7. 7A clinician diagnoses Brooke with Psychosis by the LEAD standard. She then sends Brooke to another clinician, who conducts a structured diagnostic interview and also diagnoses her with psychosis. A researcher concludes that this means Brooke must have Psychosis. Which concept within the diagnostic interview statistics does this represent?
    1. ASpecificity
    2. BPositive predictive values
    3. CSensitivity
    4. DNegative predictive values
  8. 8What would be the most appropriate example of negative predictive values in a clinical setting?
    1. AA client is diagnosed firstly by a LEAD standard clinician with clinical depression, and receives the same diagnosis in a diagnostic interview.
    2. BA client is cleared of any mental health problems in both a diagnostic interview and a LEAD clinician.
    3. CThe probability that someone will not be diagnosed with a mental illness in a diagnostic interview, if a LEAD clinician has already provided the same evaluation.
    4. DThe probability that someone with a LEAD standard diagnosis of clinical depression will be diagnosed with clinical depression in a diagnostic interview.
  9. 9When is it important to use a test with high specificity?
    1. AIf the illness is relatively rare, and we don’t want to diagnose where it is not there (e.g. homicidal tendencies)
    2. BIf the kappa coefficient is high, to further weed out false positive diagnoses.
    3. CIf the illness requires immediate treatment, and we want to ensure that we can intervene as quickly as possible (e.g. suicidal tendencies).
    4. DIf the presence of disease needs to be estimated for a research paper.
  10. 10What would be an appropriate example of a global measure in a clinical setting?
    1. AAnxiety score
    2. BPhobia score
