Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

13.2K
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.

Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

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.

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.3K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

18.4K
One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Group Design02:01

Group Design

9.6K
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Inner speech is commonly measured using self-report scales.
  • The validity of these measures requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the reliability and concurrent validity of seven inner speech questionnaires.
  • To expand on previous findings regarding the dimensions of inner speech captured by different scales.

Main Methods:

  • Administered seven inner speech questionnaires to a large sample.
  • Analyzed the reliability and concurrent validity of the scales.

Main Results:

  • Inner speech questionnaires demonstrated good reliability.
  • Concurrent validity was found to be moderate.
  • Evidence suggests scales may capture general inner speech or specific components like self-regulation and negative self-talk, but not emotional valence.

Conclusions:

  • Inner speech questionnaires are reliable tools.
  • Their moderate concurrent validity indicates they capture distinct facets of inner speech.
  • Further research is needed to refine and validate these measures for specific applications.
