How do we measure the quality of diagnostics? - ExamTests 2

Open questions with chapter 2

Question 1

Which three frames of reference are there within psychodiagnostics?

Question 2

What does Thurstone's simple-structure idea entail?

Question 3

There are 7 criteria by which tests are assessed according to the APA. Give 3 of these criteria.

Question 4

What is the difference between a clinically and statistically oriented diagnostician?

Question 5

There are four different points in the information processing process where biases, also known as heuristics, can occur. As an example in the acquisition of information, namely the availability heuristic. Name the other three points where bias can occur.

Question 6

In psychological diagnostics there are ethical rules that members must adhere to. Name three examples of ethical rules.

Question 7

What are the three most important points for test fairness?

Answer suggestions Open questions with chapter 2

Question 1

The three frames of reference are: (1) individual differences; (2) development; and (3) context.

Question 2

The simple-structure idea of ​​Thurstone means that all variables that are measured are independent of each other, so that you measure different things and not two things that show a lot of overlap. This can be showed by using a factor analysis.

Question 3

List three of the points below:

• Principles of the test construction;

• Quality of the test material;

• Quality of the manual;

• Quality of the standards;

• Quality of the reliability data;

• Concept validity

• Criterion validity.

Question 4

A clinically oriented statistician tries to learn more about him or her through dialogues with the client. The clinical diagnostician also makes extensive use of his or her own experience and intuition to arrive at a diagnosis. The statistical diagnostician is much more concerned with formulation and tests and with comparing the client to a norm group to arrive at a diagnosis.

• During processing;

• When assessing the outcome of the information;

• When dealing with feedback: no prospects.

How do conversations in diagnostics work? - ExamTests 3

Open questions with chapter 3

Question 1

Which two goals are central in an intake interview?

Question 2

What does it mean if a heteroamnesis is done?

Question 3

Name the pros and cons of a structured interview.

Question 2

In heteroamnesis, close friends and relatives of the client are also involved in the process.

Question 3

Pros:

1. better to fix and higher reliability,
2. better estimate of the severity of the complaints,
3. reduction of information and criterion variance
4. greater inclusiveness being explored.

Cons:

1. purchase takes a lot of time and money
2. rescuer must be properly trained
3. relatively little attention to the motivation and context of the client.

Question 4

The obstacle for the moderator is not to broach an emotionally charged topic, because this is difficult to talk about. The obstacle for the client is that he can give short answers and has a slow pace. Some clients benefit from a special approach and need to feel comfortable first. Obstacles in the interaction are the wrong balance of information: the moderator knows a lot about the client, but this is not the case the other way around.

Time sampling means that behavior is observed at fixed times. This is chosen if one wants to get an impression of how variable someone's behavior is.

Event sampling means that it is only observed when the behavior occurs. So, if someone is interested in abdominal pain, event sampling only looks at when the child has abdominal pain. This is often chosen when one is interested in the content, quality and frequency of the behavior.

Question 3

1. Accessibility / availability bias = the immediate availability of certain memories.
2. First impression / halo effect = the tendency for people to stick to the first impression they have.

Projective tests have added value because: (1) they can provide information about processes that the client has no insight into; (2) they are less sensitive to social desirability because the purpose is not clear; (3) it may also allow for functional diagnostics; (4) they can help to map implicit processes; (5) they can increase validity when several different methods are used. The answer is correct if three of the above reasons are mentioned.

Question 2

All indirect methods can be classified in the following categories: finishing methods, expressive methods, association methods, choice or ordering methods, and construction methods.

Question 3

1. A dialectic between the element to be interpreted on the one hand and the context of the element on the other,
2. Convergence and no divergence of meanings.
