While the collection of personal data is no immediate harm to anyone‚ it becomes an issue when the data is used for malicious purposes. This includes spying and tracking people based on their internet history. Furthermore‚ data can be used by police forces to predict crimes and their victims before they occur. Although this may seem like a flawless idea‚ it can have harmful side-effects‚

Internal validity - means that the conclusion which comes from an experiment is valid for the respondents who participated in the experiment. For any experimental design‚ we always require interval validity‚ without which experimental results are not interpretable. Threats to Internal Validity Selection - Subjects bring with them into the investigation unique characteristics‚ some learned and some inherent. Examples include sex‚ height‚ weight‚ color‚ attitude‚ personality‚ motor

defines internal validity as‚ “the quality of an experimental design such that the results obtained are attributed to the manipulation of the independent variable. In other words‚ if what you see is a function of what you did‚ then the experiment has internal validity.” (p. 235). When conducting research with experimental designs‚ researchers usually have two groups to test their experiment. These two groups are called “the experimental group” and the control group”. Experimental designs can provide a

outcome (increased class participation). Validity is in four types and these are: Conclusion‚ Construct‚ Internal and external validity. Conclusion validity tries to find out the relationship between a program and the observed outcome. For instance‚ a connection between Re-entry policy and increased failure rate in schools. Construct validity looks at the extent to which a test measures what it claims or intend to measure. Internal validity refers to how well an experiment has been done and the extent

VARIABLE-RATE PREFERRED STOCK Preferred stock has frequently been issued in connection with mergers and acquisitions. Often the preferred stock is issued with a conversion feature‚ so in the long run there is a probability it will become common stock capital. Preferred stock allows the acquired firm’s owners a prior claim relative to common stock and reasonably definite dividends while simultaneously giving the acquiring firm a form of leverage without strapping it with the rigid obligations of

Reliability and Validity Paper Research and testing are used in human services to provide the most effective program achievable. In the same way researchers employ vast amount of data collection methods. Additionally‚ it is important to understand how effective these instruments function. Equally important‚ it is necessary to know the magnitude to which the outcomes produces the same findings in the future. Moreover‚ these are reasons researchers study different types of validity and reliability
