Intelligence Testing Article Analysis

– Must be origional work.- PSY/450 – DIVERSITY AND CULTURAL FACTORS IN PSYCHOLOGYUse the Electronic Reserve Readings for this course, the University Library, or other resources to locate at least three articles concerning intelligence testing.Construct a brochure for a local elementary school. Consider your audience, as this information would likely be distributed during meetings where a child might have received an intelligence test. Your brochure would then be given to parents, guardians, and others to help them better understand the purpose of intelligence testing.Include the following in your brochure:Provide a brief overview of at least two theories of intelligence related to the content of your selected articles to help your audience understand what intelligence testing accomplishes.Discuss methods of measuring intellectual functioning.Discuss how the concept of intelligence is different than academic achievement.Include three credible, peer-reviewed references.Format the citations in your brochure consistent with APA guidelines.

Discussion answer:

Is the Measure of Consistency a State of Mind?In your unit readings from the Psychological Testing and Assessment text, you read about three sources of error variance that occur in testing and assessment. These include test construction, test administration, and test scoring and interpretation. Additionally, other sources of error may be suspect. You were also introduced to reliability coefficients, which provide information about these sources of error variance on a test (see Table 5-4).The following reliability coefficients were obtained from studies on a new test, THING, purporting to measure a new construct (that is, Something). Alternate forms of the test were also developed and examined in subsequent studies published in the peer-reviewed journals. The alternate test forms were titled THING 1 and THING 2. (Remember to refer back to your Psychological Testing and Assessment text for information about using and interpreting a coefficient of reliability.)Internal consistency reliability coefficient = .92Alternate forms reliability coefficient = .82Test-retest reliability coefficient = .50In your post:Describe what these scores mean.Interpret these results individually in terms of the information they provide on sources of error variance.Synthesize all of these interpretations into a final evaluation about this test’s utility or usefulness.Explain whether these data are acceptable.Explain under what conditions they may not be acceptable and under what conditions, if any, they may be appropriate.(Discussion Guidelines)Discussion question instructions will be presented for each question as it is posted. Your discussion answers must be thorough and expansive. Be sure to answer every question substantially using excellent integrative material from course readings and research. Usually a good answer to a set of discussion questions is about 1-2 pages (three to four substantial paragraphs for a total of 500 words…..NOTincluding the questions or references; only your answer). It is HIGHLY encouraged to conduct a word count before submitting your discussion answer. One or two short paragraphs or one or two sentences per paragraphwill notmeet the rigor requirements for this class.Discussion question instructions will be presented for each question as it is posted.

This class places a heavy emphasis on how well learners use resources to supplement and support their work. The answers to discussion questions are not to be opinion papers, but professionally presented research/course material-based work. Therefore, to be eligible for top grading of your work, each unit discussion answer requires AT LEAST TWO resources/references (one of whichmustbe from the required Cohen, Swerdlik, & Sturman text book) listed at the end of the work. In addition, you must have SEVERAL (three or more) citations in your work that are associated with your references. Each answer to every question must have resource support

Social ProblemsIn Unit 1, in your problem statement,  you identified the social problem your program will be addressing, the  target population, type of services, and setting. This week, you will  expound upon the etiology of the social problem. In your primary post  respond to the following questions:What social problem(s) does your  program address? What are the societal factors that contribute to the  social problem(s)? Explain the micro, mezzo and macro level factors from  a systems theory perspective. What political, religious and cultural  values affect the problem, both historically and today? Last, what are  the social and economic costs to society related to the social problem?  Identify at least three academic scholarly references to back up and  support your response.***FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS******350 WORDS MINIMUM***
