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).
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
