Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

12.8K
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.

Hindsight Biases01:12

Hindsight Biases

3.4K
Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

Longitudinal Research

12.0K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

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.

Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

381
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.

Self-Concept01:19

Self-Concept

58
Self-concept is the cognitive and emotional understanding individuals hold about their identity. It evolves through various developmental stages, beginning in infancy and maturing as children grow. This concept influences how individuals perceive their abilities, interact with others, and manage challenges throughout life.
Infancy and Emerging Recognition
During infancy, self-concept is virtually nonexistent. Babies do not distinguish themselves as separate entities and often mistake their...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Professional Assessment
  • Competency-Based Education

Background:

  • Competency-based frameworks aim to align professional standards with assessment design for improved validity.
  • However, the predictive validity of competence in one context for performance in another remains unestablished.
  • High-stakes assessments provide insights into the relationship between assessment design and demonstrated competencies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the convergent and discriminant validity of competencies assessed in a high-stakes examination.
  • To investigate the relationship between assessment design and actual nursing competencies.

Main Methods:

  • The study utilized the internationally educated nurses competency assessment program (IENCAP), featuring a 12-station objective structured clinical examination (OSCE).
  • Each station assessed the same 10 core competencies.
  • Competency scores underwent multi-trait multi-method matrix analysis to assess validity.

Main Results:

  • While all correlations between competencies were significant and positive, evidence for convergent or discriminant validity was not found.
  • Correlations were stronger between different competencies within the same station (mean r=0.60) than for identical competencies across different stations (mean r=0.19).

Conclusions:

  • The findings suggest a lack of construct validity for competencies as measured.
  • Clinical context significantly influences performance, indicating that competencies are context-dependent.
  • Accurate evaluation of nursing competence necessitates multiple assessments in diverse clinical settings.
