Questions from attempt 1 2022:

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Question 1

A cognitive test is being translated from English to Afrikaans. The forward-translation design is followed,
and a group of bilingual experts will compare the source and the target versions of the measure.
Thereafter the source version of the test will be administered to source-language monolinguals and the
target version to target-language monolinguals to determine the equivalence of these versions.

Which of the following is an advantage of administering the questionnaire to source- and target-language
monolinguals?

a) the results are generalisable to the respective populations
b) two different samples of test takers are compared
c) scores may be confounded by real differences in the ability of the groups

d) source- and target-language monolinguals must be matched



ADDITIONAL NOTES FOR QUESTION 1:

Another approach used is where source-language monolinguals take the source version and target-
language monolinguals take the target version of a measure. The two sets of scores are then compared to
determine the equivalence between the two versions of the measure. The main advantage of this
approach is that, since both source and target-language monolinguals take the versions of the measure in
their respective languages, the results are more generalisable to their respective populations
(Foxcroft & Roodt, 2018, p. 223).

Question 2


Foxcroft (2004) provides guidelines for the development of a multicultural test (please see study note 3
under additional resources on myUnisa). She distinguishes between three approaches, namely theory-
based/rational, empirical (criterion-keying), and criterion-referenced methods.

A study was done to determine the effects of substance abuse on the well-being of users of various
addictive substances. Before starting the research, a measure of well-being was developed for a large
sample representative of the general population. Existing data on levels of happiness that were available
for this sample were used. Items for the well-being scale were selected based on the ability of the items to
discriminate between individuals with different levels of happiness. The content domain of the measure
of well-being was thus defined by means of …

a) a theoretical review
b) an analysis of learning outcomes
c) a job analysis
d) contrasting group
