Norms in Organizational Testing

We are focused on norms and scaling test scores for interpretation. Test scores can be normed in a number of ways, and the approach taken has implications for interpretation. Those familiar with things like the MMPI may be familiar with the term "spike" on its scales. The "spike" is based on the responses to items compared to "normal people". This comparison is what makes the MMPI useful for clinicians. In addition,  this week you will be doing some basic calculations in the course dataset in the context of investigating norms, and the use of norms in interpreting data.

Fatigue, boredom, and subjects becoming over familiarized with a study, are all progressive errors (Myers & Hansen, 2012).

Another way to control progressive errors is to present all the treatment conditions to each participant (Myers & Hansen, 2012). In addition to these ways to minimize progressive errors, the researchers can use reverse counterbalancing to ensure participants are not familia...

A Case Formulation is the primary objective of the clinical assessment. It is a model of the patient and how that patient functions in the world. It provides a hypothesis about the patient’s problems that is based on the theory of psychopathology which guides the clinician’s understanding and treatment of such problems. For this assignment, you will refer to Ch. 4 in order to understa...

STRESS AND COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS Consider the work of an air traffic controller or an emergency room physician. Both jobs require alertness, quick thinking, and sound judgment in the making of a constant stream of life-or-death decisions. This process occurs with every worker’s shift, day after day.

Stress has profound effects on cognitive functions, such as decision making, occasionally altering the brain in surprising ways. Stress symptoms may lead to prominent clinical characteristics, which often go beyond anxiety...
