This preview shows page 27 - 30 out of 64 pages.

Question 61 / 1 pointWhich of the following best describes the reliability of a test?A) The results must be obtained through a method that appropriately tests what it should.B) The results must be representative of what the hypothesis is intending to test.C) The results must be the same as long as the input is the same.D) The results must be resistant to different inputs, and not change even if the input does.

Hide FeedbackCorrect! A reliable test's results must be consistent if the input is consistent. For example, a scale shouldshow the same weight if you measure yourself repeatedly every minute. The reliability of a test is oftenshown by having the same individual repeat the test and achieve the same score or result.

        d. essentialism
    2. The hallmark of a testable hypothesis or research question is that it is…

        a. reliable
        b. falsifiable
        c. replicable
        d. experimental
    3. Variables need to be operationalized in research. What does this mean?

        a. Researchers need to identify the fundamental properties of a phenomenon.
        b. Researchers need to identify how to best define and measure a phenomenon.
        c. Researchers need to identify what causes a particular phenomenon.
        d. Researchers need to identify who is influenced by a particular phenomenon.
    4. Which of the following best describes the relationship between experimental and non-experimental methods?

        c. Non-experimental methods, despite not showing causality, are more generalizable.
        d. Both have their strengths, and the decision to use one over the other is based on several factors.

    What is the relationship between reliability and validity?

    Reliability and validity are concepts used to evaluate the quality of research. They indicate how well a method, technique or test measures something. Reliability is about the consistency of a measure, and validity is about the accuracy of a measure.

    Which of the following best describes the relationship between reliability and validity?

    As reliability increases, validity decreases.

    What is the relationship between reliability and validity quizlet?

    What is the difference between reliability & validity? Reliability: The test measures one and only one thing (precisely). Validity: The test measures what it is supposed to measure.
