Standard

Standardization refers to methods used in psychological research to ensure consistent testing conditions and procedures in order to obtain reliable and valid results that can be compared across test subjects. This involves providing clear, standardized instructions to all subjects, administering tests in a consistent environment and manner, and establishing norms based on a representative sample to allow individual test scores to be interpreted. Standardization aims to reduce extraneous influences and ensure internal validity by keeping testing procedures and conditions as consistent as possible for all participants.

Standardization

1. 1. Standardization Reported by: Ella Mae D. Ayen


2. 2. Standardization refers to methods used in gathering and treating
subjects for a specific study. In order to compare the results of one group
to the results of a second group. Standardization of the research
methods is often a lengthy process. The same directions must be read to
each student, the same questions must be given, and the same amount of
time must be assured.
3. 3. Standardized Test Reliability refers to stability or consistency of
measurement over time Validity refers to a test's ability to measure what it
is supposed to measure Norms is the normal or average performance
4. 4. Standardization Procedures Experimental control is a basic requirement
for any psychological test or experimental procedure. Typically this
includes the standardization instruction, administration (including
manipulation) and measurement of variables of theoretical interest.
5. 5. Clear instructions appropriate for the particular population need to be
provided. Verbal instruction are necessary, consideration should be given
to the rate of speaking, tone of voice, inflections, facial and bodily
expression or pauses. A good example of how imprecision in
administration can lead to biased results is evident in the testing
6. 6. In essence, this type of standardization tries to reduce the influence
of any extraneous variable on the test or experimental performance of the
participants. If procedures are not standard, this will affect the reliability
and internal validity and result in biased findings.
7. 7. Standardization of procedure is often used in context of test
development (e.g. time limit, test instruction, item order) than in
experimental design. In experimental design, these issues are often
discussed under the headings of internal and external validity.
8. 8. Another important step in the standardization of a test is the
establishment of norms. In the process of standardization a test, it is
administrated to a large, representative sample of the type of persons for
whom it is designed. This group known as the standardization sample
serves to establish the norms.
9. 9. To ensure that all participants have the same experience, researchers
should ensure that they are all tested: In the same place, with the same
equipment and materials placed in the same way. Under the same
conditions, so the level of lighting, noise and heat remains the same for all
participants.
10. 10. At roughly the same time of day, as people may behave differently if
tested at nine o'clock in the morning rather than five o'clock at night.
Given identical standardized instructions in exactly the same way.
11. 11. Standardization of Interpretation Scores of psychological tests are
often not interpreted in their raw form, but against so called norms.
Psychological tests typically have no predetermined standards against
which performance of individuals or groups of individuals can be
evaluated.
12. 12. Standardization of Interpretation Test scores are compared to some
norms that was obtained by applying the same test in a sample supposed
to represent the population. Norms can be seen as typical, normal or
average performance within the population.
