- 17reliabilityconsistency of measurement
- 18test-retest reliabilityassessed by administering the measure to the same group of participants on two (or more) separate occasions and correlating the two (or more) sets of scores
- 19internal consistencyconsistency of measurement within the test itself
- 20interjudge reliabilityconsistency of measurement when different people observe the same event or score the same test.
- 21validityhow well a test actually measures what it is designed to measure
- 22construct validityexists when a test successfully measure the psychological construct it is designed to measure, as indicated by relations between test scores and other behaviours that it should be related to.
- 23content validitywhether the items on a test measure all the knowledge or skills that are assumed to underlie the construct of interest
- 24criterion-related validitythe ability of test scores to correlate with meaningful criterion measures
- 25standardisationhas two meanings: (1) the development of norms, and (2) rigorously controlled testing procedures
- 26normstest scores derived from a large sample that represents particular age segments of the population
- 27normal distributionbell-shaped curve with most scores clustering around the centre of the curve
- 28static testingtraditional approach to testing
- 29dynamic testingthe standard testing is followed up with an interaction in which the examiner gives the respondent guided feedback on how to improve performance and observe how the person utilises the information
- 30stereotype threatbelieve that certain behaviours on their part would confirm a negative stereotype in the minds of others.
