Question 1 of 13

1. Question
What is validity?
- The extent to which variation in the latent construct is related to variation in observed scores.
- The extent to which variation in the observed scores causes variation in the latent construct.
- The extent to which variation in the latent construct causes variation in observed scores.
- The extent to which variation in the observed scores is related to variation in the latent construct.

Question 2 of 13

2. Question
Why is validity essential for scientific inquiry?
- Validity is essential for establishing reliability.
- Without a valid measure we will not be able to draw conclusions about the relationship between our independent and dependent variables.
- Without a valid measure we will not be able to establish correlations.
- All of the above.
Correct

Question 3 of 13

3. Question
What does scale adaptation mean?
- A term indicating that the authors have changed something about a scale.
- A term used when authors change majority of the items in a scale.
- A term used when authors apply a paper-pencil survey online.
- A term indicating that the authors have used a scale developed by other scholars.
Correct

Incorrect
Question 4 of 13

4. Question
Why do authors need to provide evidence to support the validity of adapted scales?
- Because scores on an adapted scale will have a different relationship with the construct than scores on the original scale.
- Because the use of valid measures is essential for establishing reliability.
- Because the use of valid measures is essential for scientific inquiry.
- Both A and C.

Question 8 of 13

8. Question

- When an adapted scale is being used more than the original scale.
