LABORATORY ACTIVITY 11:

VALIDITY OF PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS


STANDARD PROGRESSIVE MATRICES 1998 EDITION
J Raven, JH Court, JC Raven

Cognitive Test (1998)


DETAILS OF VALIDITY

Criterion-Oriented Validity
The concurrent and predictive validities of the SPM
vary with the age, possibly sex, and homogeneity of the
sample, the conceptual relevance of the criterion to
which the SPM will be related and the quality of its
assessment.
DETAILS OF VALIDITY

Content Validity

Measured by the internal consistency of the test, varies


markedly when different test items are considered. It
has good to excellent discriminative power for most
items.
DETAILS OF VALIDITY

Factorial Construct Validity


Tagged as one of the purest and best measures of "g" or
general intellectual functioning available. Evidence for
this claim comes from several factor-analytic studies
involving large numbers of children and adults. Cross-
cultural studies confirm the high g saturation of SPM.
Differential Aptitude Test 5th Edition
George K. Bennett, Harold G. Seashore, Alexander Wesman

Aptitude Test (1990)


Differential Aptitude Test 5th Edition
-are design to measure students ability to learn or succeed
in a different areas including verbal reasoning, numerical
reasoning, abstract…
-help students to choose educational and career option on
the basis of strength and weaknesses.
-help students to understand better why they do
well/poorly in some subject.
Details of Validity

Content Validity
The DAT is characterized by satisfactory
predictive validity, evidenced by its correlation
with academic performance indicators such as
grade point averages.
Details of Validity

Construct Validity

Construct validity examines whether a test


measures the theoretical construct it's
intended to measure. Various studies have
supported the DAT's construct validity by
linking its scores to broader cognitive abilities
and academic skills, thereby confirming its
intended purpose.
Details of Validity

Criterion-Related Validity
Research has demonstrated that the DAT can
effectively predict academic achievement,
particularly in high school settings. For
instance, the DAT's scores correlate
significantly with achievement criteria, which
enhances its applicability in educational
assessment and guidance.

CONCLUSION

In summary, the validity evidence for the DAT 5th edition


indicates its effectiveness in measuring various aptitudes
relevant to academic and vocational success. Continuous
research affirming its reliability, construct validity, and
criterion-related validity supports its use as a significant
tool in educational settings. This evidence reinforces the
importance of the DAT in guiding students towards suitable
educational paths based on their aptitude profiles.
