Question #14
A  Content validity assesses how well the items represent the entire universe of items from which they are drawn
B  All these are true.
C  Construct validity is the most rigorous validity test
D  Expert opinion is often used to establish content validity
E  Because face validity is so basic, it can be skipped.
Question #15
A  All these are true.
B  An omega coefficient is probably better with ordinal level data than a Cronbach’s alpha.
C  A parallel form reliability assesses whether two different scales of the same construct are related to each other.
D  A split-halves reliability assesses whether scores on half the items relate to scores on the other half of the items.
E  A Kuder-Richardson reliability is designed for scales using dichotomous items.
Question #16
A  Cronbach’s alphas are often used for Likert-type scales.
B  For standardized test scores, a Cronbach’s alpha of .90 or greater is recommended.
C  For an exploratory study, a Cronbach’s alpha above .70 is considered acceptable.
D  All these are true.
E  A Cronbach’s alpha score is generally lower than the actual reliability, thus, it is considered a conservative estimate.
Question #17
A  Cronbach’s alpha is the most popular measure of internal consistency.
B  For widely used scales, the Cronbach’s alpha should .80 or above.
C  Cronbach’s alphas range from 0-1, with scores closer to zero indicating lower reliability.
D  All these are true.
E  In general, more items in a scale results in a higher Cronbach’s alpha.
