MCQ Questions and Answers
, 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) source- and target-language monolinguals must be matched
b) scores may be confounded by real differences in the ability of the groups
c) the results are generalisable to the respective populations
d) two different samples of test takers are compared
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 …
a) contrasting group
b) a theoretical review
c) an analysis of learning outcomes
d) a job analysis
