Assignment: Practical Application Of Psychometric Basics
Instructions:You are given two pages of a mock test manual that presents information for a fabricated 12-item test called the Wagner's Critical Thinking Test, or WCTT. The test manual contains information about how the measure was developed and norms/basic statistics. Further, the manual provides brief summaries of several reliability and validity studies, as well as a factor analysis table. Importantly, these summaries provide only the methods and findings of the studies, but do not specify their purposes (i.e., that the study is designed to provide evidence for internal consistency, or predictive criterion validity, or discriminant construct validity, etc.). You must evaluate the measure based on the information provided.
After you have read the Abbreviated Test Manual for the WCTT (the next pages of this assignment), answer the questions presented below. Your responses should include both a definition of the measurement concept reflected in the question (e.g., reliability, criterion-related validity) and reference to specific pieces of information contained in the manual.
1. Fully describe the evidence in the test manual that supports the WCTT's reliability. How well does the evidence support the reliability of the measure?
2. Fully describe the evidence in the test manual that supports the measure's content-related validity. How well does the evidence support the content-related validity of the measure?
3. Fully describe the evidence in the test manual that supports the measure's criterion-related validity. How well does the evidence support the criterion-related validity of the measure?
4. Fully describe the evidence in the test manual that supports the measure's construct-related validity. How well does the evidence support the construct-related validity of the measure?
5. Describe one use of the WCTT that you believe is justified, given the information provided in the manual.
6. Describe one use of the WCTT that you believe is not justified, given the information provided in the manual. In order for the WCTT to be used in this way (or for this purpose), what information would you like to see in the manual?
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
