Beschreibung:
People are now taking traditional personality tests
via the Internet, but are the results the same? The
current study is one of the few investigations that
has addressed this question directly. This
particular study has used experimental methods to
test this question, which sets it apart from most
research on Web-based psychological testing.
Another unique feature of this study is its approach
to testing both media forms (Web and Paper) over a
variety of well-established psychological
instruments, and comparing both media forms of each
instrument side by side, to see if the Web versions
of these psychological measures are equivalent to
the traditional paper-and-pencil versions of these
instruments. This approach increases the
reliability and validity of the results. Evidence
from the study suggested an equivalence of validity
coefficients and it was concluded that the two media
types were generally equivalent.
