Survey Satisficing Inflates Reliability and Validity Measures

Survey Satisficing Inflates Stereotypical Responses in Online Experiment: The Case of Immigration Study

Though survey satisficing, grudging cognitive efforts required to provide optimal answers in the survey response process, poses a serious threat to the validity of online experiments, a detailed explanation of the mechanism has yet to be established. Focusing on attitudes toward immigrants, we examined the mechanism by which survey satisficing distorts treatment effect estimates in online exper...

The survey of knowledge and practice of faculty members about validity and reliability of exams

Introduction. Measuring is the foundation of evaluation. The main way for evaluation of education progression is testing the exams and every test must have identity, validity, reliability and be easy to perform. More precision to preparing the exams can improve its validity. There are different ways for measuring validity and reliability in testing. Do the faculty members know about these metho...

Brief physical activity-related psychosocial measures: reliability and construct validity.

BACKGROUND Psychosocial factors have been related to physical activity (PA) and are used to evaluate mediation in PA interventions. METHODS Brief theory-based psychosocial scales were compiled from existing measures and evaluated. Study 1 assessed factor structure and construct validity with self-reported PA and accelerometry in overweight/obese men (N = 441) and women (N = 401). Study 2 asse...

Reliability and validity of body composition measures in female athletes.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the reliability and validity of bioelectrical impedance (BIA) and near-infrared interactance (NIR) for estimating body composition in female athletes. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used as the criterion measure for fat-free mass (FFM). Studies were performed in 132 athletes [age = 20.4 +/- 1.5 (SD) yr]. Intraclass reliabilities (repeat a...
