Part II

Respond to each questions( A,B,C) using 175 words.

A. Be prepared to discuss and critique research questions of each team member. Use The Characteristics of High Quality Research on page 3 of Exploring Research (and in the materials for the Research Multimedia Assignment) on which to base your evaluation of "good" questions.

B. It is critical in our science for our credibility. We have been called to task for demonstrating reliability and validity in recent years by the media's attention to our "replication crisis" (found https://nobaproject.com/modules/the-replication-crisis-in-psychology). How does such a "crisis" affect our profession and, ultimately, our credibility as a science? What can we do to "fix" it?

C. "Reliability is important to research because any researcher wants their tool, instrument, or experiment to results in the same outcome each time the tool, instrument, or experiment is used. Validity is described as the test or instrument one is using that actually measures what you need to have measured".

i. You summarize the reliability and validity of an assessment or measure well. How does this apply to a research study overall? How do we know when the study itself contains reliability and validity? Does the reliability and validity of the measure affect the reliability and validity of the study overall? How or why not?
