Topic: Quantitative Analysis
Question: You may have discussed the pertinent instruments of data collection, including their scales and their measures of reliability and validity. During this final week of instruction, you focus on how to explore, identify, and evaluate scales in quantitative research. This becomes a critical task when you create your own instruments or rely on surveys and questionnaires from other sources.
Without reliability and validity of measures, interpretation of results can lead to erroneous conclusions. A statistics professor concerned with student anxiety might have an instrument that measures anxiety. The professor can perform scale analysis to determine which questions on the test might collectively represent different aspects of anxiety, like test anxiety, math anxiety, or computer anxiety.
