PSY 326 WEEK 2 ASSIGNMENT ESTABLISHING RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY

Establishing Reliability and Validity You are a psychologist working for a consulting firm that specializes in survey development. Your firm has been contacted by M.A.D.D. (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) who wants to develop a survey that will identify teenagers at-risk for driving while intoxicated. They have provided a list of questions that their research suggests will help to identify risk factors contributing to this behavior. They need your firm to work with them to establish reliability and validity of this survey so that they can begin using it to establish risk in young adults across the nation. In a two to three page paper (excluding title and reference pages), discuss the steps that you would take to establish reliability and validity of this survey. Be sure to describe the type(s) of reliability and validity that you are attempting to establish as part of your consulting project. Your paper should include an introduction to these concepts as well as a clearly stated thesis for the development project and a conclusion. You must use two to three scholarly resources from the Ashford University Library to support your discussion in this assignment.
