2.A means of determining the agreement among judges or raters when a given set of these are assessing or evaluating a particular defined and observed phenomenon (e.g., performance of participants on a given behavioral task).

3.In general terms, the consistency or dependability of a measurement technique is known as...?

4.Uncontrolled variance that distorts scores and observations so that these no longer accurately represent the construct in question or being studied is known as...?

5.The relevance of a measurement instrument or strategy to the construct one is attempting to measure is known as...?

6.The circumstance of a particular construct being measured by two different sets of items held to be equivalent in representing the construct, is known as...?

7.A __________ establishes a quantitative means to measure a defined construct by using assigned values as a basis to quantify observations and participant responses.

8.Interval scales of measurement have equal distances between points, but lack...?

9.The principle of "parsimony" in research may be reflected in measurement efforts by...?

10.To approximate a normal distribution of scores and support parametric forms of quantitative analysis, variables must be measurable at the __________ level or above.

11.A major characteristic of quantitative measurement instruments that greatly influences how we evaluate internal consistency of the instrument is...?
