Answer to Question 1

ANS: A

Feedback
A Instrument homogeneity is established with split-half reliability.
B Test-retest reliability establishes instrument stability.
C Interrater reliability is not a homogeneity measure.
D Alternate form or parallel form reliability is not a test of homogeneity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B

Feedback
A Open-ended questions elicit textual data that are content analyzed (qualitative analysis).
B The KR-20 coefficient provides estimates of homogeneity used for instruments that have a dichotomous response format.
C Cronbach's alpha coefficient provides estimates of homogeneity when instruments are scaled with ordinal responses.
D The KR-20 coefficient does not apply to this answer.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
