EAB 4798 Final Spring 2024-2025 Exam
Interobserver agreement does not provide information about either ______ or - ANSWER
reliability; accuracy
The product of measurement is considered a(n) - ANSWER estimate
All of the following should be considered when implementing assessment procedures,
except - ANSWER Is this research basic or applied in nature?
A local politician asks his volunteers to record on a data sheet the number of yard signs
that they pass out to supporters during election time. To check the information that was
being reported back to him he and his wife would occasionally go into the
neighbourhoods his volunteers had been assigned to, and count the number of signs in
individual's yards and compare that number to the number that his volunteers recorded.
The politician and his wife are recording: - ANSWER true values
When it is not obvious that data represent what they are intended to represent, an issue
of ______ arises: - ANSWER validity
What two conditions must be met in order to be able to gauge the precision of a group of
observations? - ANSWER The data must represent physical events, and it must be
possible to measure these events directly.
The only way accuracy can be evaluated is: - ANSWER by comparing observed values
with true values
When reliability and accuracy are determined to be unsatisfactory, the researcher may
either terminate the project or apply the use of ____ to assess the data and refine the
process so that output improves to meet specifications desired: - ANSWER calibration
, Below is the outcome of a partial-interval recording process. What is the interobserver
agreement score? - ANSWER 70%
Which of the following is one of the methods for assessing reliability? - ANSWER
Observed values are matched to true values
The individual who changes his or her behaviour in response to being observed is
known as _________. - ANSWER reactivity
_______ The conditions have been changed from an earlier study and still has produced
a similar result - ANSWER Systematic replication
Single subject studies ____________ - ANSWER Both A and C (may incorporate elements
of qualitative and quantitative procedures, may incorporate robust and powerful
methods for influencing an individual's behavior)
______ refers to anything that may affect the demonstration of the functional relationship
between the independent and dependent variables. - ANSWER Extraneous variables
This is the term used when a subject becomes unavailable during the course of a study:
- ANSWER attrition
Internal validity is important to establishing the believability of a functional relationship
which, therefore, establishes confidence in the results that are obtained. - ANSWER
Internal validity
When a researcher engages in the process of repeating the observed predictions and
verifications within the same study, he/she is practicing what? - ANSWER Replication
The concept that if no effect is because of the independent variable, the dependent
variable's data path will be the same is known as ________. - ANSWER prediction
Interobserver agreement does not provide information about either ______ or - ANSWER
reliability; accuracy
The product of measurement is considered a(n) - ANSWER estimate
