A psychologist was interested in developing an English Language Usage test for HSSC students. She wrote 120 questions trying to cover several areas of language usage. Each question had five alternatives, out of which only one was right. The draft version of the test was given to a sample of 200 students. The test items were analysed in two ways — carrying out item-remainder correlation and discrimination index for each item. For the purpose of computing item discrimination index, she labelled those who had a total score below P27 as low scorers, and those who had a total score above P73 as high scorers (assume that P27 and P73 had non-fractional, i.e. full integer, values). The statistical significance of the discrimination index of each item was evaluated by an appropriate test. Ninety items were retained in item analysis. The ninety-item version was administered to a fresh sample of 400 subjects. Cronbach alpha was computed. The psychologist also wondered if she could compute Kuder-Richardson (K-R) reliability for her test. Since the Cronbach alpha was pretty high, i.e. .947, and the test was quite long, she decided to develop two parallel forms, each of 45 items. She randomly assigned the items to two halves, labelling them as Form A and Form B. For each form, she assessed average inter-item correlation, mean, standard deviation and Cronbach alpha. The two forms satisfied the criteria for parallel forms.

Q15.

For computing inter-item correlations, which one of the following is suitable?

APoint biserial correlation BBiserial correlation CRank difference correlation DPhi-coefficient

Q16.

Given below two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as

Reason R

Assertion A: According to Classical Test Theory (CTT) total variance is equal to the sum of true variance and error variance

Reason R: Error variance and true variance are independent of each other as per CTT

In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

ABoth A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A BBoth A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A CA is correct but R is not correct DA is not correct but R is correct

A psychologist developed a scale for measuring warmth and competence dimensions. As a part of scale development, she factor analysed 25 items to retain 20 items. She chose Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). The Bartlett's test = 237.8, p < .001. The overall Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test (KMO) is 0.89. Principal Components Analysis (PCA) was used to extract components. The first eight eigenvalues were 9.9, 6.5, 1.6, 1.00, 0.85, 0.83, 0.82 and 0.79. She retained factors on the basis of scree plot and rotated them using varimax criteria. Three items showed cross-loadings, eighteen items loaded on only one of the factors, and remaining items did not load on any factors.

Q17.

In the above example, what percentage of the variance would be explained by the first unrotated factor?

A9.9 B39.6 C65.6 D72.0

Q18.

The Bartlett's test results in the above study suggested that

APopulation correlation matrix is not an identity matrix BPopulation correlation matrix is an identity matrix CSample correlation matrix is not an identity matrix DSample correlation matrix is an identity matrix

Q19.

Which of the following is correct for the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test?

A. It is a test of sampling adequacy

B. Chi-square test is used to test the significance

C. Values smaller than 0.5 are desirable

D. Smaller partial correlation leads to high KMO
