10Leading questions are...

13It can be time consuming to covert [blank_start]open-ended[blank_end] responses into useable data

19[blank_start]Reliability[blank_end] is the number one concern when pilot testing a questionnaire you've made
- AReliability
20Validity is important when pilot testing a question because:
- AInternal consistency is important
- BTest-retest can happen

21Highest response rates are seen in what kind of survey administration option

22Benefits of electronic surveys

- DParticipants can skip questions they are unsure of
23How consistent is this measure? is a question related to:
- ATest-retest

- CInternal consistency reliability
- DFace
24[blank_start]Internal consistency reliability[blank_end] needs to answer the question: " is this questionnaire consistent within itself

This type of test is reliable for personality traits not mood states.- AContent
- BTest-retest

- DConstruct
26Does the scale/questionnaire appear to be measuring the variable(s) relates to...
- AFace validity
- BContent validity
- CCriterion validity
- DReliability
27subjectivity is a problem with face validity, if the face value is too high social desirability bias is a potential consequence,
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
28Do the items on the measure adequately represent the entire range/set of items that could have been appropriately includes is related to...
- AContent
- BConvergent
- CConstruct
- DPredictive
29The extent to which a questionnaire/test measures the underlying construct it was intended to measure

- BFace
- CConstruct
- DValidity
30The degree to which a measure correlates with other measures of the same construct
- AConstruct
- BDivergent
- CPredictive
- DConvergent
31Discriminant validity is the degree in which a measure does not correlate with measures of different constructs
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
32Discriminant validity is the degree in which a measure does not correlate with measures of the same constructs
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
33The difference between predictive validity and concurrent validity is whether the criterion is being assessed at the same time as the measure or if it is being assessed in the future.
Both assess whether the measure predicted the criterion- AVerdadero
- BFalso
34The purpose of an experiment is to demonstrate that one variable caused changes in other variables
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
35Co-variation is...
( X = IV, Y= DV)- AX varies and then Y varies
- BAs Y varies, X varies
- CAs X varies, Y varies
- DY varies and then X varies
36Temporal order is the same thing as precedence order
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
37what does the absence of plausible alternatives mean:
