M&AII Psychometrics Exam
68% Confidence Interval - ANS-+/- 1 SEM
95% Confidence Interval - ANS-+/- 2 SEM
clinical utility validity - ANS-degree to which data from an assessment instrument can
affect treatment decisions and outcome
concurrent validity - ANS-results of a measure with some external measurement that
was taken at nearly the same time
confidence interval - ANS-"a range or band of test scores that is likely to contain the
'true score'";
construct validity - ANS-comprises the evidence & rationales indicating the degree to
which data from an assessment instrument measures the targeted construct; includes
all evidence bearing the measure and encompasses all types of validity
content validity - ANS-extent to which a test translates all facets of the latent variable
into measurable form
convergent validity - ANS-degree to which data from assessment instrument are
coherently related to other measurements of the same construct as well as the other
variables that they are expected (in theory) to be related to
cost-effectiveness validity - ANS-the cost of deriving info with an assessment instrument
relative to the contribution of that info to a clinical judgment
criterion-related validity - ANS-degree to which data from an assessment instrument
correlate with external markers
diagnostic efficiency - ANS-ability of a diagnostic test to correctly classify a group of
individuals into diagnostic groups
discriminant/divergent validity - ANS-degree to which data from an assessment
instrument are not related unduly to exemplars of other constructs
