Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A participant's observed score is composed of their true score (the actual attribute level) and measurement error (the deviation from the true score due to various factors). Reliability and validity are properties of the measurement instrument, not components of the observed score. Convergent and discriminant validity are types of validity, not components of an observed score. Transient and stable variables refer to characteristics that may change over time or remain constant, not components of an observed score.
