Editor's Notes
- “ T he lower the precision, the more subjects you'll need in your study to make up for the "noise" in your measurements. Even with a larger sample, noisy data can be hard to interpret. And if you are an applied scientist in the business of testing and assessing clients, you need special care when interpreting results of noisy tests.“ - http://www.sportsci.org/resource/stats/precision.html
- From Bryman & Cramer (1997) “Concepts & their Measurement”
- This researcher was interested in measuring game satisfaction performance as perceived by the player. She brainstormed the behaviors one would expect to find if someone was pleased with his or her performance in a game. From those behaviors she developed a self report scale.
- http://www.uwo.ca/fhs/nursing/laschinger/image002.gif Another researcher wanted to look at the concepts associated with one feeling empowered.
- From Figure 4.2 Bryman & Cramer (1997) This researcher was looking at professionalism and he came up with five dimensions. He then provided behaviours indicative of that dimension.
- Likert scales basically ask: How do you feel on a scale of 1-10, or 1-5 or 1-4 depending on the scale and the age of the one completing the scale.
- This is an example of a tally sheet when the researcher is interested in decreasing negative or increasing positive behaviors. This scale is found in the resources for this lecture.
- Figure from http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/relandval.php Reliability is about the consistency of a measure. Validity is about whether a test actually measures what its meant to measure. Validity requires reliability, but reliability alone is not sufficient for validity.
- Reliable; not valid Reliable; valid
