Psychological tests or experiments 1

1. What does reliability mean?

• What people think other people want socially-meeting researchers needs or not
• Are they really measuring what they think they're measuring?
• Does it seem to be true on the face of it?
• The process of converting concepts into specific observable behaviours that a researcher can measure
• The method used to chose subjects for an experiment
• Results of experiment are biased because the experimenters' expectancies regarding performance of the participants on a particular task create an implicit demand for the participants to perform as expected
• A set of rules that psychologists must follow to ensure the safety of subjects and the reputation of the profession
• Actual numbers, or any other kinds of directly-observed data
• If an investigation can be successfully repeated
• Can the findings from this particular study be applied to other settings/situations?
• Doing what you think the experimenter wants, or not doing what they want
• Whether what you are studying can be measured or described.
• Type of reactivity in which individuals modify or improve an aspect of their behaviour in response to their awareness of being observed
