PYC4807 - Psychological Assessment
2022 – Semester 1 – Assignment 2 - 2nd Attempt


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?
1. the results are generalisable to the respective populations
2. source- and target-language monolinguals must be matched
3. two different samples of test takers are compared
4. scores may be confounded by real differences in the ability of the groups

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 ...
1. a theoretical review
2. contrasting group
3. a job analysis
4. an analysis of learning outcomes
