| For a study of OM to have good reliability, the study population should _________. | Be sufficiently similar to my patient |
| For a study of OM to have good reliability, the sample size should be ______ | sufficiently large |
| For a study of OM to have good reliability, the participants should be (more/less) diverse in the full range of OMs. | More diverse (so that a full spectrum of people the OM was designed for is tested.) |
| For a study of OM to have good reliability, the participants should be (stable/unstable) in the character of interest. | Stable. (no change in medication/ treatment during the period of testing) |

| The measure of whether the tested OM matches a gold standard is called ________. | Criterion validity |

| Predictive validity is established when researchers demonstrate that an OM has a high correlation with a ________. | future criterion measure |
| ________ establishes the ability of an OM to assess n abstract characteristic or concept. | construct validity |
| How is construct validity established? | 1. provide a theoretical model that describes the constructs being assessed. 2. a series of studies are conducted to establish whether the measure actually assess those constructs |
| What are the three commonly used methods to establish construct validity? | 1. known-group validity 2. convergent validity 3. discriminant validity |
| Known-group validity establishes that an OM produces (the same/different) scores for groups with known (similarities/differences) on the characteristic being measured. | Different. known differences. |
| _________ validity establishes that a new measure correlates with another thought to measure similar a characteristic or concept. (High/low) correlation is ideal. | Convergent High correlation is ideal |
| __________ validity establishes that a new measure correlates with another thought to measure a distinctly different characteristic or concept. (High/low correlation is ideal). | Discriminant validity Low correlation is ideal |
| Which statistic test is used to detemine criterion validity? | Spearman's rho |
