SPCE 611 - EXAM 2 - CHAPTER 5 - 8
Direct, Indirect - correct answer ✔A(n) _______ measure of the actual
behavior of interest will always possess more validity than a(n) _______
measure.
Reliable - correct answer ✔______ measurement is consistent measurement
Artifact - correct answer ✔When data give an unwarranted or misleading
picture of the behavior because of the way measurement was conducted, the
data are called a(n)
Frequent - correct answer ✔In general, artifacts can be limited by scheduling
________ observations
Instruments - correct answer ✔Cumbersome and difficult to use
measurement ________ can lead to inaccurate and unreliable measurements.
Select observers carefully
Train observers to an objective standard of competency
Use a systematic approach to training
*Explicit feedback about data collection as it relates to the hypothesis* -
correct answer ✔Which of the following is not a suggested training method
for potential observers?
Accurate - correct answer ✔Reliable data are not necessarily _______ data.
Use the same observation and measurement system
, Observe and measure the same participant(s) and events
Observe and record the behavior independent of any influence from one
another
*Score all IOA while sitting side-by-side with another observer* - correct
answer ✔Which of the following is not a requisite for obtaining valid IOA
measures?
*Provides no assurance that the two observers recorded the same instances
of behavior*
Useful for event recording
Is expressed as percentage of agreement
Is calculated by dividing the smaller of the counts by the larger count and
multiplying by 100 - correct answer ✔Which of the following is a limitation of
total count IOA?
Total Count IOA
*Unscored-interval IOA*
Scored-interval IOA
Mean Count-per-Interval IOA - correct answer ✔Which of the following is the
most stringent method for calculating IOA for behaviors that occur at relatively
high rates and obtained by interval recording?
Conservation - correct answer ✔Visual analysis is considered a(n) ________
method for determining the social significance of behavior change.
Relationships - correct answer ✔Graphic displays of behavioral data are
considered simple formats for visually displaying ________ among and
between a series of measurements and relevant variables.
