Examples:
External
motivation (constructs)
affect the performance (external behavior)
Construct- anxiety
EXAMPLE: PHYSICAL ILLNESS may affect the exams of the students it is not base on the knowledge of the
student.
You need to find another previous research. Like example motivation, you can find the definition on the
other previous research.
Validity- used to determine how well a test measures what it is supposed to measure
Reliability – consistency
standardized – reliability and validation
Concurrent validity- Concurrent validity measures how a new test compares against a validated test,
called the criterion or “gold standard.”
For example, the results of an IQ test can be used to predict future educational achievement. The
outcome is, by design, assessed at some point in the future.
Construct Validity- Construct validity concerns the extent to which your test or measure accurately
assesses what it's supposed to. In research, it's important to operationalize constructs into concrete and
measurable characteristics based on your idea of the construct and its dimensions.
Construct validity concerns the identification of the causes, effects, settings, and participants that are
present in a study. For example, a medication might have an effect not because its putative active
ingredients are absorbed into the bloodstream but because of its placebo effects.
Convergent Validity- Convergent validity states that tests having the same or similar constructs should
be highly correlated.
Divergent validity- In some fields, discriminant validity is also known as divergent validity. Example:
Discriminant validity (divergent validity) You are researching extroversion as a personality trait among
marketing students. To establish discriminant validity, you must also measure an unrelated construct,
such as intelligence.
EXAMPLE:
IQ SCORE ARE HIGHER WHEN YOU FEELING GOOD
IQ SCORE ARE LOWER IF YOU ARE TIRED
ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES
ENVIRONMENTL VARIABLES
TIME, DAY KA NAG ASSESS, TEMPERATURE (MAKE SURE THE ENVIRONMENT IS COMFORTABLE),
PARTICIPANT CHANGES
- FOCUS ON THE ATTENTION DURING THE ASSESSMENT
- HUNGER OF THE PARTICIPANT
-
NEED TO REMEMBER:
ERROR IS LARGE THE RELIABLITY IS LOW
IF ERROR IS LOW THE RELIABILITY IS HIGH
EXAMPLE
PARALLEL FORMS- NOT EXACT TOOL BUT THE LATERNATIVE VERSIONS.
INTER- RATER – THREE DIFFERENT OBSERVERS (THREE JUDGES) IF DILI LAGO ANG DIFFERENCE THAT
MEANS RELIABLE.
SPLIT HALF – 50 ITEMS QUEST. SPLIT ANG ITEMS TO TEST TAKERS. COMPUTE AND CALCULATE THE
DEGREE.
EXAMPLE:
HEIGHT IS THE MEASURE OF INTELLIGENCE- INVALID MEASURE
CONSISTENCY OF MEASUREMNTS- NOT GUARANTEE THAT IS VALID
M- Male
F- Female
ORDINAL SCALE
The ordinal scale is the 2nd level of measurement that reports the ordering and ranking of data without
establishing the degree of variation between them. Ordinal represents the “order.” Ordinal data is
known as qualitative data or categorical data. It can be grouped, named and also ranked.
Example:
Ratings in restaurants
Very often
Often
Not often
Not at all
Assessing the degree of agreement
Totally agree
Agree
Neutral
Disagree
Totally disagree
Interval Scale
The interval scale is the 3rd level of measurement scale. It is defined as a quantitative measurement
scale in which the difference between the two variables is meaningful. In other words, the variables are
measured in an exact manner, not as in a relative way in which the presence of zero is arbitrary.
Example:
Likert Scale
Ratio Scale
The ratio scale is the 4th level of measurement scale, which is quantitative. It is a type of variable
measurement scale. It allows researchers to compare the differences or intervals. The ratio scale has a
unique feature. It possesses the character of the origin or zero points.
Example:
An example of a ratio scale is:
55 – 75 kgs
76 – 85 kgs
86 – 95 kgs
