In Week 2, you selected three standardized tests from one category that have relevance to your academic and professional goals or a related profession. Your Week 2 assignment focused on the purpose, contents and constructs assessed, norms, and required training of psychological tests. For this assignment, you will complete a deeper analysis of the technical quality of your three selected tests by focusing on reliability and validity evidence. To complete this assignment, you will draw upon the knowledge you gained in Weeks 3 and 4 about psychometrics in general and reliability and validity in particular. For this assignment, use the three tests you selected for your assignment in Week 2. Locate and summarize a minimum of two articles related to the technical qualities for each selected test. You are encouraged to use the PSY7610 Library Research GuideLinks to an external site. to assist your search. The library has also prepared the Psyc Tests and Measures to help you though common hurdles with searching the library for this course. For each article: List the APA reference for each journal article (a minimum of six). Identify if the article addresses reliability or validity. Discuss if the article addresses sources of error variance, reliability estimates, evidence of validity, or bias and fairness. Identify the specific type of reliability or validity (for example, test-retest reliability, predictive validity, etc.). Identify the overall results of the research, including any psychometric or statistical outcome. Guidelines for Selecting the Literature Use the most current sources you can find. You may cite older sources if they are classics, if you want to show the chronology of something, or if you have another good reason (i.e., the test was published more than 8 years ago). If you choose to use older sources, you will need to explain why. Use current, peer-reviewed journal articles for more current tests. Do not use sources without an author or a publication date. Do not use quotes; use only your own words. Please see Academic Honesty & APA Style and Formatting for concerns with high content matching in papers. Evaluate whether the results support the use of your test as appropriate for your field and populations to be served. Note: The articles you need to complete this assignment should be available inside the library collection. In future courses, you may use the Capella library's Interlibrary Loan service to obtain articles outside of the collection, but you should not have to use the service for this course. In the event that you cannot find articles covering a newer test edition, please refer to the List of Tests by Type [DOCX] document. Note which tests have been designated as acceptable for searching prior test editions. Instructions for the content of the paper are in the u05a1 Assignment Template [DOC].

Embed an image of your results AND reflect on your results. Do you feel your results match how you would describe yourself? You will not receive credit if you just include the image without reflecting on it. THEN, comment on 2 peers responses about their answer to question #2 favorite color. Please respond to each classmate in at least three sentences. Resources: How do I reply to a discussion as a student? (Links to an external site.)

Example of a response that received credit: I chose the color red; it has been my favorite color since I can remember. Red excites me in clothing, especially in dresses or clothing that I find personally attractive. I also find it attractive in lipstick since red can be considered as one of the colors that attracts the human eye. I would say that a combination of someone dancing to a hip-hop/rap/pop song using something with the color red would excite me/attract me (I love to dance so that's the reason). Lastly it excites me when I see it on certain food, in this case pizza. My results showed that overall I am 43% extroverted and 57% introverted and I have high emotional intelligence, organizational skills, and creativity. I am surprised by the creativity trait as I do not consider myself very creative. This may be because I correlate creativity with artistic ability (which I lack), but need to consider how I may be creative in other ways. I agree with the other two high traits- I am extremely organized and feel I have a high level of emotional intelligence. I can empathize with others and often have friends coming to me for my perspective.

Do you have time to do this, due in 5 hours max Select 2 leaders (political, corporate, and athletic leaders are all appropriate) of your choice. One leader should be someone that you are drawn to or root for and the second leader should be someone that you dislike or root against. Research both selected leaders. Apply the Five-Factor Trait theory to analyze the leaders on each of the 5 parameters. Write a 1- to 2-page blog post that examines personality traits of the 2 leaders. Address the following: What was unique about the leader? How did they rate overall on an empirical scale? How does biology impact their personality traits? How does their personality trait impact their leadership development and engagement? Compare and contrast the personality traits of the 2 leaders. Does this analysis give you any insight into why you like or root for one and against the other? What are some strengths and weaknesses of the Five-Factor of Personality theory?

Discussion: Child Sexual Abuse Investigators often encounter a lack of cooperation among family members and victims when determining if child sexual abuse has occurred. Often, the determination is made based on warning signs or behavioral indicators demonstrated by the victim because no one in the family—including the victim—will state that child sexual abuse has occurred. The child is often concerned that the perpetrator who is a family member will be removed from the family. Even when the perpetrator is not a family member but is known to the family, the victim and the family may withhold information from the investigator. Family members often present artificial alliances among each other that obscure what is really happening within the family. Forensic psychology professionals often face ethical dilemmas that result from these alliances within the family. These circumstances require that information about alleged child sexual abuse be gathered cautiously and with great sensitivity. In this Discussion, you will consider a case of child sexual abuse. You will determine appropriate strategies to gather information, analyze the behaviors of the people involved, and consider challenges associated with the case. To prepare for this Discussion: Read the Week 3 Case Studies document. Choose one case to address in this Discussion. Read the Learning Resources pertaining to family dynamics in cases of sexual abuse. By Day 3 Post a response to two of the following: What information gathering strategies would you recommend for the scenario in the case study? What type of information is needed? Within this case study, identify the warning signs or behavioral indicators that are present and could indicate sexual abuse is taking place. How would you determine if laws have been broken? What ethical considerations need to be addressed in this case study (e.g., developing loyalties, confirmation bias, transference, etc.)? Explain and justify your answers with appropriate scholarly literature.
