Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

13.3K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

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.

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Barriers to Effective Communication II01:21

Barriers to Effective Communication II

4.2K
The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:
As a result of their tendency to use...

Area of Science:

  • Social cognitive career theory
  • Educational psychology
  • Rural sociology

Background:

  • Social cognitive career theory (SCCT) posits that perceived barriers negatively impact career and educational self-efficacy.
  • Previous research on measuring barriers has yielded inconsistent results.
  • Limited quantitative research exists on the perceived barriers faced by rural Appalachian students.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify perceived educational and career barriers among rural Appalachian high school students.
  • To investigate methods for measuring these perceived barriers.
  • To explore the influence of culture on how rural Appalachian students report barriers.

Main Methods:

  • Mixed-method approach combining qualitative and quantitative data collection.
  • Exploration of perceived barriers in rural Appalachian high school students.
  • Analysis of how cultural values and beliefs may affect the reporting of contextual influences.

Main Results:

  • Identified specific perceived educational and career barriers relevant to rural Appalachian students.
  • Highlighted challenges in accurately measuring perceived barriers in this population.
  • Revealed that cultural values and beliefs can significantly skew the reporting of barriers.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the unique cultural context of rural Appalachian students is crucial for accurate barrier assessment.
  • Existing measurement tools may not adequately capture the nuances of perceived barriers in this demographic.
  • Future research should consider cultural factors when examining educational and career development in rural populations.
