PSY340H5 Chapter Notes - Chapter 3: Internal Consistency, Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography, Parietal Lobe
Document Summary
Assessment interview takes place after results are available: client discusses problems, clinician starts relating problems to results. Summary and discussion sessions: level 1 findings: findings congruent with how people see themselves, level 2 findings: findings that amplify/reframe how person typically sees themselves, level 3 findings: information findings that conflict with self-views. Inter-rater: degree to which two independent observers/judges agree. Test-retest: extent to which people being observed twice or taking the same test twice, score generally the same way: only makes sense when theory assumes people will not change over given time. Alternate-form: using multiple forms of a test to ensure scoring isn"t biased by participant remembering answers. Internal consistency: assesses whether the items on a test are related to one another. Related to whether a measure fulfills its intended purpose. Unreliable measures will have bad reliability: inconsistent results will not relate to one another. Content: whether a measure adequately samples the domain of interest.
