Surveys02:16

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Case Studies01:22

Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.

Internet-based multiple mini-interviews (iMMI) provide comparable results to in-person assessments for medical school admissions. This remote interview format is feasible, acceptable, and cost-effective, offering significant savings.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Admissions Assessment

Background:

  • The University of Sydney has utilized Multiple Mini-Interviews (MMIs) since 2006 for medical and dental programs.
  • In 2011, internet-based MMIs (iMMI) were used for international candidates, while local candidates underwent in-person MMIs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if MMI scores from internet-based and in-person formats are comparable.
  • To assess the feasibility, acceptability, and cost-effectiveness of the iMMI.

Main Methods:

  • Comparison of 2011 iMMI scores (international) with 2009 MMI scores (international) and 2011 MMI scores (local).
  • Analysis of variance (ANOVA) to investigate score equivalence between interview formats.
  • Evaluation of acceptability via interviewer and candidate feedback surveys; estimation of cost savings.

Main Results:

  • No significant difference in mean scores between iMMI and in-person MMI formats.
  • International candidates' iMMI scores showed greater variation than local candidates' MMI scores.
  • Reliability was 0.76 for iMMI and 0.70 for MMI; iMMI resulted in over 84% cost savings.

Conclusions:

  • The internet-based MMI is a valid and reliable method for high-stakes interviews, comparable to in-person assessments.
  • The iMMI process is acceptable to participants and offers substantial resource savings.
  • Further investigation into the wider score variance in iMMI is recommended.
