Psychology  U5D1

Misconceptions regarding test bias and test fairness, two terms that are often incorrectly considered synonymous. While questions regarding test bias have been addressed through technical means, issues with test fairness are tied to values. The text attempts to define test fairness in a psychometric context and provides eight techniques for preventing or remedying adverse impact on one or another group (see page 209). One of these techniques included differential cutoffs. Furthermore, you were introduced to a variety of methods for setting cut scores. These methods have been based on either CTT or IRT.For this discussion, synthesize the information you learned about these two theories and respective methods. In your post:Determine which one is preferential for responding to questions about a test’s fairness.Identify at least two advantages and two disadvantages in using each theory, citing appropriate AERA standards from your readings.Defend your preference in terms of the methods used within each theory and how they apply to concepts of fairness across groups. Essentially, how does it best address test fairness?Describe how advances in technology are improving the process of test development and inclusion of appropriate items.

Psychology  Discussion 2 Response

Attitude consists of the non-observable components of why people engage in given behaviors. Primarily, the psychological characteristics define what people are (Aronson et al., 2019). For instance, in the case of Julie, she is addicted to smoking. Besides, she has also formed a positive attitude towards running to be in shape. Thus, she is experiencing an attitude dilemma since smoking and running do not go together. There are various theories of attitude change that best explain Julie’s situation. For instance, cognitive dissonance theory assesses the incompatibility that an individual might perceive between two attitudes (Levy et al., 2018). In the case of Julie, the attitude of smoking and running are incompatible. However, ignoring one brings discomfort. When an individual tries any form of inconsistency, it makes the person uncomfortable. Thus, the individual attempts to reduce the dissonance resulting in discomfort.The functional theory discusses how attitudes and efforts are related. According to the theory, compliance occurs when an attitude is formed or changed to gain a favorable impression from other people (Roese & Epstude, 2017). For instance, Julie fancied herself a runner who likes smoking cigarettes, but this did not change the compatibility of cigarette smoking and running. The theory that best explain the situation of Julia is cognitive distance theory. Julia has a dilemma to either keep smoking or stop running or to stop running. While she has the opportunity to change either of her behaviors, she will experience a lot of discomforts because she expresses absolute interest in both of them. Julie has to make the difficult decision that will contribute to her general well-being in terms of health. She must stop smoking and continue running to keep in shape.References:Aronson, E., Wilson, T. D., Akert, R. M., & Sommers, S. R. (Eds.). (2019). Social psychology (10th ed.).

Psychology  SOCW 6111 Week 2 Informed Consent

Sometimes, though, reporting of confidential information is mandated by law.By Day 3Post a description of the importance of confidentiality when working with your client. How does the principle of confidentiality impact the therapeutic relationship? Then, explain your understanding of mandated reporting and how it empowers vulnerable populations.Support your posts with specific references to this week’s resources.
