Russell, Michael – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2022
Despite agreement about the central importance of validity for educational and psychological testing, consensus regarding the definition of validity remains elusive. Differences in the definition of validity are examined and reveals that a potential cause of disagreement stems from differences in word use and meanings given to key terms commonly…

Kam, Chester Chun Seng – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2023
When constructing measurement scales, regular and reversed items are often used (e.g., "I am satisfied with my job"/"I am not satisfied with my job"). Some methodologists recommend excluding reversed items because they are more difficult to understand and therefore engender a second, artificial factor distinct from the…

Philippe Goldammer; Peter Lucas Stöckli; Yannik Andrea Escher; Hubert Annen; Klaus Jonas – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2024
Indirect indices for faking detection in questionnaires make use of a respondent's deviant or unlikely response pattern over the course of the questionnaire to identify them as a faker. Compared with established direct faking indices (i.e., lying and social desirability scales), indirect indices have at least two advantages: First, they cannot be…

As the research on feigning has grown, the number and quality of performance validity tests (PVTs) has increased as well. However, while several PVTs have been developed from assessments commonly used as part of neuropsychological batteries, there has been less exploration for PVTs scored from items in cognitive screeners. The Montreal Cognitive…

Julie Sriken; Bradley T. Erford; Martin F. Sherman; Kristen Watson; Heather L. Smith – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2024
Psychometric characteristics of CESD-R scores were explored on a sample of 966 undergraduate students. Internal consistency ([alpha] = 0.92), external convergent and discriminant validity, and response bias were adequate to excellent. Strong measurement invariance was evident for gender and race comparisons, and the unidimensional model fit the…

Gorney, Kylie – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Aberrant behavior refers to any type of unusual behavior that would not be expected under normal circumstances. In educational and psychological testing, such behaviors have the potential to severely bias the aberrant examinee's test score while also jeopardizing the test scores of countless others. It is therefore crucial that aberrant examinees…

Pere J. Ferrando; Fabia Morales-Vives; Ana Hernández-Dorado – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2024
In recent years, some models for binary and graded format responses have been proposed to assess unipolar variables or "quasi-traits." These studies have mainly focused on clinical variables that have traditionally been treated as bipolar traits. In the present study, we have made a proposal for unipolar traits measured with continuous…

Nancy A. Anderson – ProQuest LLC, 2021
The purpose of this study is to examine how validity has been presented in technical and other users' manuals for various editions (i.e., revisions) of the same commercially published test over time. Although the unitary view of validity came to prominence more than 30 years ago and has been embraced in the "Standards for Educational and…

Lavery, Matthew Ryan; Bostic, Jonathan D.; Kruse, Lance; Krupa, Erin E.; Carney, Michele B. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2020
Since it was formalized by Kane, the argument-based approach to validation has been promoted as the preferred method for validating interpretations and uses of test scores. Because validation is discussed in terms of arguments, and arguments are both interactive and social, the present review systematically examines the scholarly arguments which…
