1. Define parallel forms reliability and split-half reliability. Explain how they are assessed. Parallel forms reliability is a type of measure of reliability that you can get by doing different types of assessment. They must both have same construct and knowledge system with the same group of people. You must make two parallel forms and create a questionnaire that will have the same system and by random divide the questionnaire into two different sets. Between the two parallel forms whatever correlation

existence being in an illusion or dream-like world and nothing we are experiencing is real. The other theory is the idea that life is manipulated by an evil demon that has an infinite amount of knowledge, and can even change basic logic and mathematics. Both theories were created to challenge the definition of skepticism by forcing you into believing in things that may or may not exist. The theory of being in the illusion or in a dream is explained in Descartes writing in “Within the Sphere of the

prediction of the results, one must first understand the two theories being test: the self-affirmation theory and implementation intentions. The self-affirmation theory was first introduced by social psychologist Claude Steele in 1988. This theory states that “people can reduce the impact of attitude-behavior discrepancy by focusing on and affirming their competency in some other dimension unrelated to the discrepancy.” A major component of this theory includes the notion that people aren’t motivated by

century. Her development of Caring Science/Human Caring Theory have put greater importance of a patient as a whole being, and a nurse’s role in care. Through her 10 caritas process, Watson has developed ways for nurses to foster a positive, caring relationship with their patients to aid in healing and development. The Watson Caring Science Institute as well as the Watson Caring Science Center continue the development and integration of these theories into the workplace, thus allowing nurses to provide

Falsifiability is the principle that a proposition or theory cannot be scientific if it does not admit the possibility of being shown false. Science takes the whole universe and any and all phenomena in the natural world under its purview, limited only by what is feasible to study given our current physical

native language. Up to this day, there are many theories that theorist came up with to explain how children acquire their language. The main theories that people believe for how children acquire language are Innateness Hypothesis, Imitation Theory, Reinforcement Theory, Active Construction of a Grammar Theory and last but not least, Social Interaction Theory. These theories have many similar characteristics as well as many differences. The main theories of language acquisition perceive that children

to get as accurate as possible, after all how could I criticise something I did not understand the concept of, in fact I use the words- proposed, theory, dogma, ideology more than I use the word macroevolution, why? Simply because his job as a science teacher is different than say a maths teacher, one teacher teaches facts the other theories, theories are open to ideology and error, not just related to the natural

"A historian must combine the rigor of a scientist with the imagination of the artist." To what extend, then, can the historian be confident about his or her conclusions? History has always been a subject that is looked upon by many as a very controversial and biased one. In History people can have disagreements. One historian can believe that an event in the past happened in a certain way while another can think it happened differently. This is because history is a matter of interpretation as

DELEGATED PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT: A SURVEY OF THE THEORETICAL LITERATURE Livio Stracca European Central Bank Abstract. This paper provides a selective review of the theoretical literature on delegated portfolio management as a principal–agent relationship. The main focus of the paper is to review the analytical issues raised by the peculiar nature of the delegated portfolio management relationship within the broader class of principal– agent models. In particular, the paper discusses the performance

uniformitarianism, and believed the Earth was being shaped by slow moving forces. Alfred Wegener introduced the foundation for the theory of continental drift. Wegener was one of the first to recognize and have an understanding of how the Earth works which required data and information from earth sciences. In the 1960s, the theory for the continental drift became known as the theory of plate tectonics or plate building.
