Exercise: Reliability & Validity Matching Exercise
Instructions: Match each term on the left with its definition or application on the right.
1. Content validity: Experts determine that the items on a test appear to represent the universe of questions that the test should cover.
2. Face validity: Questions on the test appear to the test taker to measure what the test is supposed to measure.
3. Criterion validity: The test demonstrates a relationship between a test and a future behavior or outcome.
4. Concurrent validity: Different judges provide similar ratings when observing the same behavior.
5. Predictive validity: The test scores are related to an independent set of abilities.
6. Construct validity: The test measures actually the concept that it claims to measure.
7. Test-retest reliability: Test scores are highly correlated across two different administrations of the exact same test.
8. Parallel forms: Test scores are highly correlated across multiple versions of a test (typically used to overcome practice effects).
9. Internal consistency: All of the different items or questions on a measure are reliability highly correlated with each other, demonstrating that they are all tapping into a similar concept.
10. Inter-rater reliability: The test is related to a relevant outcome in the present.
