Practical and Ethical Issues Pertaining to Test Revisions Jill Cornelio, Brandon Parks, Haleigh Roach, and Jamie Shoma Adams, K.M. (2000). Practical and ethical issues pertaining to test revisions. Psychological Assessment, (12)3, 281-286.

Adams, K.M. (2000). Practical and ethical issues pertaining Introduction The test revision process involves practical issues such as the goals, economic matters, methodology, and ethical standards relating to the revision itself. A tension between the practical and ethical issues concerning test revision is expected to develop. A test must be revised if the test items are outdated. An old test that remains to be useful does not need to be revised. Adams, K.M. (2000). Practical and ethical issues pertaining to test revisions. Psychological Assessment, (12)3, 281-286.

Considerations in Revising a Test a) Cost of the revision b) Goals and mission of the test revision c) Revalidation of the revised test Adams, K.M. (2000). Practical and ethical issues pertaining to test revisions. Psychological Assessment, (12)3, 281-286.

Adams, K.M. (2000). Practical and ethical issues pertaining Cost of Test Revision Decisions in test revision may be made in an environment where the economic benefits of a test becomes the most important factor in the decision-making process. The number of people involved in test revision has greatly expanded. There is an increased pressure to find expanded markets for revised tests. Adams, K.M. (2000). Practical and ethical issues pertaining to test revisions. Psychological Assessment, (12)3, 281-286.

Goals and Mission of the Test Revision Generally, goals for test revision must include the following: Knowledge regarding previous versions of the test Advances in the method and theory for the assessment of the construct being measured Ways in which the test may be challenged Adams, K.M. (2000). Practical and ethical issues pertaining to test revisions. Psychological Assessment, (12)3, 281-286.

Goals and Mission of the Test Revision (continued) Financial relationships between test sellers and psychologists and between psychologists and their clients Technological changes that are likely to affect test usage Adams, K.M. (2000). Practical and ethical issues pertaining to test revisions. Psychological Assessment, (12)3, 281-286.

Revalidation of the Revised Test After a test has been revised, it has to be revalidated by psychologists. Test publishers offer incentives for psychologists to provide their services in the revalidation process. No single test-publishing company could include all of the sources and materials needed to create a perfect and flawless test revision. Adams, K.M. (2000). Practical and ethical issues pertaining to test revisions. Psychological Assessment, (12)3, 281-286.

Revision as a Continuous Process Since society is constantly changing, revisions are continuously necessary. Improvements in the relationship between test publishers, customers, and consumers of revised tests are greatly needed. Support for test revisions through telephones, newsletters, web pages, etc. is also helpful. The challenges of test revisions are a continued and ongoing process. New and improved ways to revise a test are continuously being developed. Adams, K.M. (2000). Practical and ethical issues pertaining to test revisions. Psychological Assessment, (12)3, 281-286.

Adams, K.M. (2000). Practical and ethical issues pertaining Critical Review Items Interesting points a) The test revision process relies largely on people outside of the psychological field. b) The economic gains of a test is very important in test revision. c) High test and equipment costs often tempt psychologists to ignore copyright laws. Adams, K.M. (2000). Practical and ethical issues pertaining to test revisions. Psychological Assessment, (12)3, 281-286.

Critical Review Items (continued) Disagreements a) Psychologists shouldn’t put too much emphasis on preserving the original test maker’s legacy. b) Psychologists often withhold acceptance of updated measures. Needs clarification a) Incentives are given to psychologists by test publishers. Adams, K.M. (2000). Practical and ethical issues pertaining to test revisions. Psychological Assessment, (12)3, 281-286.
