Document Summary

Rebecca johnson psyc37- chapter 7 notes october 1, 2013. Both the behaviour of the subject and the examiner can influence the test scores. Children in grades 1-7 were given the wisc test, half the students were under an enhanced rapport setting and the other was in a normal setting. In the controlled setting the test examiners talked to the students more and were more warming. In the results it showed that it did not effect children in grades 1-3 but iq of 5th-9rh graders were higher for those students who were in the controlled setting. In another test where there were 2 setting approving comments- and disapproving comments. The setting where the students received disapproving comments scored lower. Being familiar with the test taker can also alter results. Substantial interviewer effects: a respondent might give a response that they think the interviewer wants. This is known as response acquiescence, and causes systematic bias.
