Test Construction Vocabulary Achievement Test Aptitude Test Standardization Concurrent Validity Norms Predictive Validity Reliability Flynn effect Validity Test-retest Content validity Split-half Face validity Interrater reliability Construct validity Simply Define in your own words!! You can use one of the textbooks (I marked for you ) or in the internet!

Battle of the Brains  Have your viewing guides out to finish!

Happy Tuesday  We are going to play kahoot to review our test construction vocabulary!

Extra Credit: Due TEST DAY  You are going to select a character from a movie or television show to analyze through a visual display   1. Examining their personality… Psychoanalytic Examples of their ID, Superego and ego at work Defense mechanisms commonly used (include at least 2) Humanistic Is their self-concept incongruent? Explain! Would you classify them as self-actualized? Explain! Social Cognitive How do they exhibit reciprocal determinism? Trait Theories Explain how you THINK they would score on the Big 5 (break down each component) 2. Examining their intelligence… Give an example of them demonstrating each type of intelligence (fluid/crystallized) Are they emotionally intelligent? Why or why not? You can organize the information however you would like, but be sure to cover all areas to get the full +15 points!

Link: goo.gl/LpkiFB Why does the article not believe IQ is the same thing as intellectual limits? Do you agree or disagree? What findings are there before stress and intelligence levels (IQ and emotional)? Does this article believe Big 5 traits are stable? What is emotional intelligence? Is it stable? What is a key element of EQ? Do you think IQ or EQ is more imperative for success?

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) First proposed by Edward Thorndike *Social Intelligence Ability to perceive, understand, manage and use emotions Self-awareness! EMPATHY!

Does Intelligence change over time? Cross-sectional evidence for intellectual decline “the decline of mental ability with age is part of the general aging process of the organism as a whole” Longitudinal evidence for intellectual stability Found that until late in life, intelligence remained stable The Truth! Crystallized intelligence v. Fluid intelligence

Crystallized v. Fluid Intelligence (Raymond Cattell) Crystallized- our accumulated knowledge and verbal skills (increases with age) Fluid- our ability to reason quickly and abstractly (declines during late adulthood)

Gender Differences Keep in mind how expectations and opportunities shape interests/abilities! Testing of Scottish 11 year-olds Girls- 100.6, Boys-100.5 Girls (typically) are better spellers, more verbally fluent, better at locating objects, detecting emotions and more sensitive to touch/taste/color Boys (typically) are better at spatial ability and complex math problems; mental ability scores vary more than girls *More boys in special education, 4:1 score 700 or higher on SAT Math

Racial/Ethnic- STEREOTYPE THREAT A self-confirming concern that one will be evaluated based on a negative stereotype - Reduced effort, disengaged, change of goals “A woman may fail to reach her career goal of being a scientist because of how she changes her behavior in response to perceptions about her own gender.” “When test instructors emphasized the role of race before the test, Black students performed worse than White students. When instructors did not emphasize race, Black and White students performed equally well.”
