Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Raw scores are simply the count of the behaviors sampled without any further analysis or adjustment. True scores refer to the hypothetical and idealized score that a person would get if all measurement error was eliminated, while observed scores are the actual scores obtained from the measuring procedure. Weights typically refer to coefficients used in a formula for combining different variables or factors. Therefore, choice A is the best option for simple counts of behaviors sampled.
