Download or read book Validating Psychological Constructs written by Kathleen Slaney and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically examines the historical and philosophical foundations of construct validity theory (CVT), and how these have and continue to inform and constrain the conceptualization of validity and its application in research. CVT has had an immense impact on how researchers in the behavioural sciences conceptualize and approach their subject matter. Yet, there is equivocation regarding the foundations of the CVT framework as well as ambiguities concerning the nature of the “constructs” that are its raison d’etre. The book is organized in terms of three major parts that speak, respectively, to the historical, philosophical, and pragmatic dimensions of CVT. The primary objective is to provide researchers and students with a critical lens through which a deeper understanding may be gained of both the utility and limitations of CVT and the validation practices to which it has given rise.

Download or read book High Fidelity Is Not Superior To Low Fidelity Medical Simulation And Leads To Overconfidence In Medical Students written by Hannah Ru00f6der and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background and Goal of Study:Simulation has become integral to the training of both undergraduate medical students and professionals. Due to the increasing degree of realism and range of features, the latest mannequins are referred to as high-fidelity simulators. We assessed whether increased realism leads to a likewise improvement in traineesu2019 outcome, and the influence on individual confidence and self-assessment.Materials and Methods:After institutional ethics board approval, 135 fourth-year medical students were randomly allocated to participate in either a high- or a low-fidelity simulated Advanced Life Support training session. Theoretical knowledge and self-assessment pre- and post-tests were completed. Studentsu2019 performance in simulated scenarios was recorded and rated by experts. Test results were analyzed using ANOVA, Chi-Squared test and McNemaru2019s test, data from video analysis were analyzed with Chi-Squared and t-test.Results and Discussion:Participants in both groups showed a significant improvement in theoretical knowledge in the post-test as compared to the pre-test, without significant intergroup differences. Performance, as assessed by video analysis, was overall comparable between groups, but, unexpectedly, the low-fidelity group had significantly better results in several sub-items. Participants of the high-fidelity group considered themselves to be advantaged, solely based on their group allocation, compared with those in the low-fidelity group, at both pre- and post-self-assessments. Self-rated assessment of their individual performance was also significantly overrated. Although current literature is controversial, several studies indicate high-fidelity simulation may favor emotional bias and positive expectations regarding the simulation tool.Conclusion(s):The use of high-fidelity simulation led to equal or even worse performance and growth in knowledge as compared to low-fidelity simulation, while also inducing undesirable effects such as overrating of the individual performance that happened significantly more often in the high-fidelity group. Hence, in this study, high-fidelity was not beneficial compared to low-fidelity, but rather proved to be an adverse learning tool in this scenario.

Download or read book Validity and Validation in Social Behavioral and Health Sciences written by Bruno D. Zumbo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book combines an overview of validity theory, trends in validation practices and a review of standards and guidelines in several international jurisdictions with research synthesis of the validity evidence in different research areas. An overview of theory is both useful and timely, in view of the increased use of tests and measures for decision-making, ranking and policy purposes in large-scale testing, assessment and social indicators and quality of life research. Research synthesis is needed to help us assemble, critically appraise and integrate the overwhelming volume of research on validity in different contexts. Rather than examining whether any given measure is “valid”, the focus is on a critical appraisal of the kinds of validity evidence reported in the published research literature. The five sources of validity evidence discussed are: content-related, response processes, internal structure, associations with other variables and consequences. The 15 syntheses included here, represent a broad sampling of psychosocial, health, medical and educational research settings, giving us an extensive evidential basis to build upon earlier studies. The book concludes with a meta-synthesis of the 15 syntheses and a discussion of the current thinking of validation practices by leading experts in the field.
Download or read book The Construct Validity of a Situational Judgment Test in a Maximum Performance Context written by Kevin C. Stagl and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Predictor Response Process model (see Ployhart, 2006) and research findings were leveraged to formulate research questions about, and generate construct validity evidence for, a new situational judgment test (SJT) designed to measure declarative and strategic knowledge. The first question asked if SJT response instructions (i.e., ‛Should Do’, ‛Would Do’) moderated the validity of an SJT in a maximum performance context. The second question asked what the upper-bound criterion-related validity coefficient is for SJTs in talent selection contexts in which typical performance is the criterion of interest. The third question asked whether the SJT used in the present study was fair for gender and ethnic-based subgroups according to Cleary’s (1968) definition of test fairness. Participants were randomly assigned to complete an SJT with either ‛Should Do’ or ‛Would Do’ response instructions and their maximum decision making performance outcomes were captured during a moderate fidelity poker simulation. The findings of this study suggested knowledge, as measured by the SJT, interacted with response instructions when predicting aggregate and average performance outcomes such that the ‛Should Do’ SJT had stronger criterion-related validity coefficients than the ‛Would Do’ version. The findings also suggested the uncorrected upper-bound criterion-related validity coefficient for SJTs in selection contexts is at least moderate to strong ([beta] = .478). Moreover, the SJT was fair according to Cleary’s definition of test fairness. The implications of these findings are discussed.
