I I
Question I1
A Itheory Ican Ibe Idescribed Ias Ian Iinterdependent Iset Iof I- I- I- I- I- Irelations Ibetween I- I- I- I- I-
1. proposed, Iconstructs
2. empirical, Ihypotheses
3. verified, Ivariables
Answer: IThe Icorrect Ioption Iis I1
Reasoning:
Alternative I1 Iis Icorrect Ibecause Ia Itheory Iis Idefined Ias Ia I“network Iof Ipostulated Irelations
Ibetween Iconstructs”.
Alternative I2 Iis Iwrong Ibecause Ione Idoes Inot Itest Irelations Ibetween Ihypotheses, Ibut
Ibetween Ivariables.
The Irelations Iare Ipostulated I(and Itherefore Inot Iverified) Iso Ithat Ialternative I3 Iis Ialso
Iincorrect.
Question I2
A Imeasurement Imodel Iof Iattention Ideficit Idisorder Irelates Ithis I- I- I- I- I- Ito Iits I- I- I- I- I-
1. construct, Iintervening Ivariables
2. hypothetical Ivariable, Iobservable Iinstances
3. variable, Iparameters
Answer: IThe Icorrect Ioption Iis I2
Reasoning:
Alternative I2 Iis Icorrect Ibecause I(a) I‘attention Ideficit Idisorder’ Iis Ia Ihypothetical Ivariable
Iused Ito Irefer Ito Ia Icluster Iof Iobservable Isymptoms, Iand I(b) Ithe Isymptoms Iare Ithe
Iobservable Iinstances I(of Ibehaviour) Iwhich Iare Iused Ito Imeasure I(e.g. Iindicate Ithe Iseverity)
Iof Ithe Idisorder.
Alternative I1 Iis Iincorrect Ibecause Ione Irequires Imanifest, Inot Ilatent Ivariables Ifor
Imeasurement.
Alternative I3 Iis Ialso Iincorrect Ibecause Ia Imodel Iis Inot Ia Ivariable, Ibut Ia Itheory Iof Ithe
relationship Ibetween I‘referents’ I(or Ihypothetical Ientities).
Use Ithe Ifollowing Iscenario Ito Ianswer IQuestions I3 Ito I5
"Acute Istress Idisorder Iamong Ipatients Iwho Isuffer Ifrom Ithis Idisorder Ican Ibe Iexplained Iin Iterms Iof Ihow

Ivariables Isuch Ias Ipersonality Ifactors, Ithe Inature Iof Ithe Istressors Iand Isupport Iexperienced Iin Ithe
Isocial Isystem, Ishowing Ithat Iit Ifunctions Ias Ia Idependent Ior IY-variable Iwhich Iis Ito Ibe Ipredicted Ior
Iexplained Iin Ithe Istudy.
[The Idependent Ivariable Iis Iusually Ithe Ione Ithat Ithe Iresearcher Iis Iinterested Iin, Ithe Ivariable Ithat Iis
Ithe Ifocus Iof I the Iresearch. IThe Iindependent Ivariable Iis Isomething Ithat Ithe Iresearcher Imanipulates,
Ito Isee Ihow Ithis Iaffects Ithe Idependent Ivariable I(in Iother Iwords, Ithe Idependent Ivariable Iis
Idependent Ion Ithe Iindependent Ivariable).]

Ifrom Ithe Ipopulation, Ithe Iinfluence Iof Ithe Itype Iof Istressor Iwill Ibe Iaveraged Iover Ithe
Isample.
Alternative I2 Iis Iincorrect Ibecause Ithere Iare Ino Igrounds Ifor Iassuming Ithat Ithe Itype Iof
Istressor Iwill Inot Iaffect Ianxiety.

Irefers Ito Ithe Inature Iof Ithe Isampling Idistributions Iof Isampling Istatistics Iand Inot Ito Ithe
