My school mates used to call me “Slow Light”, as they mocked me for not being fast enough in sprinting. Every time our Sports Teacher would get us out in the school yard for sprinting I was very nervous, because I knew that I would get the worst score. Nobody likes being the last, and for me it was especially difficult since the boys in my class had very good scores, while I was far behind most of them, which inspired them to make fun of my running abilities. Each time it was my turn to sprint, I used ...

Various concepts are crucial in conducting and understanding test statistics. For a scholar or even a social worker to understand how the test statistics are applied in the assessment process, an in-depth understanding of interpretation of test data comes in handy (Neukrug & Fawcett, 2013).

2A. Appraising Quantitative and Qualitative Research

Quantitative Study One source of bias during data collection is the use of self-report data (Polit & Beck 2012). Chivers et al. (2001) obtained data through the SF-36 and Beck depression inventory which required the patients to answer questionnaires. If they failed to give accurate answers, it would have affected the validity of the findings. The study design also allowed patients to receive other clinically appropriate treatments that were beyond the study protocol (Chivers et al. 2001). Additional treatments are confounding variables but their influence on the study outcomes was not estimated in the statistical analysis. This reduces confidence in ...
