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.

Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

11.1K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Surveys

14.7K
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.

Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

5.4K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Data Validation01:03

Data Validation

4.9K
Data validation is an essential part of a comprehensive assessment. Validation is confirming or verifying and opening the door to gathering more assessment data as it clarifies vague or unclear data. The process of checking and verifying the collected information is called data validation. The primary purpose of data validation is to ensure data is as free from error, bias, and misinterpretation as possible.
Nursing assessment guides are generally based on holistic models rather than medical...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Sociology
  • Psychology

Background:

  • College food insecurity is a significant issue affecting student well-being and academic success.
  • Existing measures may not fully capture the complex internal and external factors contributing to food insecurity among college students.
  • Understanding these factors is crucial for developing effective interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the College Perspectives around Food Insecurity survey.
  • To assess the reliability and validity of the survey in evaluating internal and external factors related to college food insecurity.
  • To provide a tool for researchers and institutions to better understand and address food insecurity in higher education.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative interviews and quantitative survey development.
  • Survey items were informed by social cognitive theory, categorized into environment, personal, and behavior.
  • Content and face validity were established through expert reviews and cognitive interviews with college students. Reliability was tested using descriptive statistics, test-retest reliability, and Cronbach's alpha.

Main Results:

  • The final College Perspectives around Food Insecurity survey comprises 99 items.
  • High test-retest reliability (0.99) was achieved.
  • Cronbach's alpha scores indicated good reliability for the environment subscale (0.74) and lower reliability for personal (0.47) and behavior (0.39) subscales.

Conclusions:

  • The College Perspectives around Food Insecurity survey is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing factors related to food insecurity in college students.
  • The survey can identify key environmental, personal, and behavioral influences.
  • Findings can inform the development of targeted interventions to mitigate college student food insecurity.
