Variables, Reliability & Validity

Please answer each question thoroughly (generally, 2-3 sentences each). Feel free to use your book and notes here. Be evaluative and critical.
Not all theories are equally convincing, nor are all studies
methodologically sound. Tell when you think specific theories or studies
have problems. Don’t be uncritically accepting of what you read.

NO QUOTATIONS ALLOWED. YOU MUST WORK ON PUTTING THIS IN YOUR OWN WORDS.

Here’s a story you can read about in the popular press:
80 Percent of College Students Text While Driving (http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2013/10/11/study-80-percent-of-college-students-text-while-driving (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.)

1. What kind of claim is this—frequency, association, or cause?
2. What is/are the variable(s) in the claim?
3. What seems to be the operationalization of the “texting while driving” variable?
4. What forms of reliability might be relevant for this operationalization? How would you establish each form of reliability?
5. Is this operationalization valid? How might you establish the
   predictive or concurrent validity of their texting-while-driving
   operationalization? What kind of data would you need to collect and how
   would you do that? Sketch a well-labeled graph that shows an expected
   empirical outcome, if the study has good concurrent validity.

Please include a reference page in APA format

Plagiarism:

Any direct quotation MUST be placed within quotes and
cited. Citing alone does not make it not plagiarized! As I am not
allowing ANY quotation this should not even be an issue!

Citing merely tells the reader where the information is coming
from – using direct quotations “” tells the reader it is a direct quote
from someone else. Why is this important? Well
chiefly, it’s not your words or work. Secondly, if you have the reader
feels the information is wrong they can seek out the original source to
verify that information a) wasn’t taken out of context or b) is indeed
wrong.

Remember, you are typically better off loosing points for having nothing in your own words than plagiarizing someone else.

Course policy is that any plagiarism results in an automatic 0 on the assignment.

University policy is that this is a violation of the university honor code and as such must be reported!!!

So please do NOT plagiarize!
