Question 2

A SEM of 2 indicates really low reliability.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False  False

Question 3

Measurement may be defined as the process of assigning labels (such as numbers) to things (such as characteristics of people) according to rules (meaning the steps in assigning these labels are explicit and consistent).

Question 4

If a measure is valid, then its reliability can be assumed to be adequate.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 5

Face validity, with everything else being equal, is generally a more rigorous form of assessing validity than predictive validity.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

A)  Number of arguments per day 
B)  Did at least one argument occur each day

Question 7

A conceptual definition is the same as an operational definition.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 8

The more readily a problem can be directly observed, the easier it is to validate.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 9

Strictly speaking, measurement is not needed in performing a single-system evaluation.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 10

If a measure is reliable, then its validity can be assumed to be adequate.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False
