Measures of Intelligence01:29

Measures of Intelligence

6.6K
Psychologists measure intelligence by using standardized tests that produce a score known as the intelligence quotient or IQ. To understand IQ tests, it's important to recognize the key principles behind their construction: validity, reliability, and standardization.
Validity refers to how well a test measures what it claims to measure. An intelligence test should accurately assess intelligence rather than another characteristic, like anxiety. Criterion validity is one way to evaluate this;...

Ratio Level of Measurement00:54

Ratio Level of Measurement

17.2K
The way a set of data is measured is called its level of measurement. Correct statistical procedures depend on a researcher being familiar with levels of measurement. For analysis, data are classified into four levels of measurement—nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.
A set of data measured using the ratio scale takes care of the ratio problem and provides complete information. Ratio scale data are like interval scale data, except they have a zero point and ratios can be calculated....

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure

Direct Method
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...

Uncertainty in Measurement: Reading Instruments02:46

Uncertainty in Measurement: Reading Instruments

38.0K
Counting is the type of measurement that is free from uncertainty, provided the number of objects being counted does not change during the process. Such measurements result in exact numbers. By counting the eggs in a carton, for instance, one can determine exactly how many eggs are there in the carton. Similarly, the numbers of defined quantities are also exact. For example, 1 foot is exactly 12 inches, 1 inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters, and 1 gram is exactly 0.001 kilograms. Quantities...

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

12.7K
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.

Units and Standards of Measurement01:10

Units and Standards of Measurement

31.4K
A physical quantity is defined either by specifying its measurement method or by stating how it is calculated from other measurements. For example, consider a metallic cube. We might define its mass and dimensions by specifying methods for measuring them, such as using a weighing machine and a meter scale. Then, we could define the volume by stating that it is the cube of its side, and we could calculate the density as the mass divided by the volume.
Measurements of physical quantities are...

Area of Science:

  • Kinesiology and Education
  • Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Academic performance measurement instruments in physical activity and education settings are reviewed.
  • Identifies tools for measuring academic performance in relation to physical activity variables.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively list and review instruments measuring academic performance.
  • To analyze the relationship between physical activity and academic performance outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search (2000-June 2022) using keywords for academic performance outcomes (cognitive skills, attitudes, achievement, behavior).
  • Included 233 articles describing 220 studies, primarily involving elementary students.
  • Categorized outcomes based on CDC classifications and analyzed instrument usage.

Main Results:

  • Most studies focused on academic achievement (57.3%) and cognitive skills (37.3%), mainly attention.
  • Positive associations between physical activity and academic performance were prevalent: 63.4% for cognitive skills, 78.6% for achievement, and 85.7% for behavior.
  • Instruments measuring attention, intelligence, memory, and attitude were commonly used.

Conclusions:

  • Academic achievement and attention are frequently studied outcomes linking physical activity and performance.
  • Predominantly positive associations exist, but non-significant or negative findings, especially for cognitive skills, warrant further investigation.
  • Future research should utilize reliable instruments to explore these nuanced relationships in academic performance and physical activity contexts.
