Answer to Question 1

ANS: A

Feedback
A Internal consistency or homogeneity reliability indicates that the items within the scale measure the same concept.
B This is an inaccurate statement.
C A high degree of internal consistency indicates that the instrument is refined; however, additional testing is always warranted.
D There is no indication that the instrument is valid; the reliability coefficient is very acceptable.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A

Feedback
A Convergent validity example: two or more instruments that theoretically measure the same construct and are administered to the same subjects.
B The example in the stem matches validity, not reliability.
C The example in the stem matches validity, not reliability.
D The example in the stem matches validity, not reliability.
