Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The stability of an instrument is the degree to which similar results are obtained on separate occasions. Stability is assessed through testretest reliability procedures. Researchers administer the measure to the same sample twice and then compare the scores. The self-reported pain scale administered on two different occasions is an example of testretest reliability, not of random sampling procedures or construct validation. The internal validity of the study is not being measured.

Answer to Question 2

A
