Convergent validity

Are The Reliability And Validity Of The Instruments Described? Did The Researcher Examine The Reliability And Validity Of The Instruments For The Present Sample? The reliability and validity of the instrument (CWEQ-II) that was used to measure nurse empowerment shows a construct validity that is substantiated in a confirmatory factor analysis that revealed a good fit of the hypothesized factor structure…

similarities between the behavior shown by the animal model and the particulars symptoms of the human condition (Geyer and Markou 1995; Moreau 2002; Lyon 2004) .The face validity of animal model of depression is a determination of the models capability to replicate core symptoms of the disease (Mitchell and Redfern, 2005). In using the face validity of animal models of depression, anhedonia as a result assumes an important position. Anhedonia is also a most important symptom of psychosis. In…

LAZY ARGUING Sea World’s attempt to refute the documentary “Blackfish” was so disappointing. It did not just fail; it crashed and burned. “Blackfish” is a documentary that shows the psychological and physical harm Sea World is doing to their Killer whales by keeping them in a confined space. The Documentary also demonstrates the danger Sea World is putting their trainers in by having them work with their killer whales. In response Sea World published, on their website, an article titled…

and Schrank (2014) states the WJ IV is based on the theoretical foundation from the Cattell-Horn-Caroll theory of cognitive ability and evidence to support the interpretation of the WJ IV, Validity Content was addressed using the master-test and cluster-content according to the CHC theory. The Content validity refers to the learning area measured by the test. In addition, the CHC theory and research were the “basis for the overarching test battery design blueprint” (LaForte, McGrew, & Schrank,…

A panel of experts is needed to review the instrument, and determined the validity and reliability. The group discussion was an example of panel of experts, who determined the content of validity and reliability between the items composing in the instrument. The reliability was conducted before the expert panel review, which for this assignment were my classmates. The panel of experts…

Gensler: Divine Command Theory Gensler’s main argument for the Divine Command Theory is to argue the moral reasons for the existence of God. He gives the premises that everyone knows objective moral duties. Then comes the idea that if there are objective moral duties there has to be something that makes them moral law. For this the only answer that makes sense is God because it cannot be a person or other individuals in society since we do not have the authority to tell someone is they do…

Conclusion Validity 4. External Validity The first type of validity is Internal Validity. “Internal Validity is the approximate truth about inferences regarding cause-effect or causal relationships” (Trochim, 2006). You would not use Internal Validity for an observational study but Internal Validity would be appropriate to assess a social program’s effectiveness. You want to know that your program is successful…

Validity in Research When planning research, scholars must consider many factors. Two such factors are is the measure of the construct valid and will the specific measure of the construct result in reliable data (Trochim & Donnelly, 2008). Take for example a study to determine the effectiveness of a specific Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) medication for children ages 8-14 who are diagnosed with ADD, where the researchers yield consistent results for each participant for each dosage for the…

0236566 In this squib, I criticize Norcross’ argument for the claim that Fred would still be acting immoral if he hired someone else to torture the puppies. I then argue that the second premise of Norcross’ target argument is false by providing an objection. My objection shows that there is a situation in which the action itself is immoral, but hiring someone to do it is not immoral. Now I will present Norcross’ target argument in standard form, for the claim that hiring someone else to torture…

The next validity to check would be the external validity. The definition of external validity by Paul C. Cozby and Scott C. Bates (2015), in their book Methods in Behavioral Research would be to see if the study can be generalized and applied to other populations. The study was mostly conducted on Caucasians, however, the studied would still be able to be applied to others since it is dealing with the effects of parenting which can be applied to all (Cozby & Bates 2015). The final validity is…
