Document Summary

6 types: face validity = the degree to which a measurement device appears to be accurately. Construct validity = the degree to which a measurement device accurately measures the. Measurement scales = at least two different values or levels, categorical or numerical. 4 types: nominal = 2 or more categories hat have no numerical (less than, greater than) properties (i. e. categories or groups, ordinal = measurement categories form a rank order along a continuum. Numerical: interval = intervals between numbers on the scale are all equal in size and meaningful (there is no abssolute zero, ratio = an absolute zero point, indicating an absence of the variable being measured (** most experiments) Quantitative = focuses on specific behaviors that can be easily quantified (many. Study designs = experimental vs non-experimental (quantitative and qualitative) participants) world in their own words (few participants) Qualitative = focuses on people behaving in natural settings and describing their.
