signed to assess problems with attention, problems with impulsivity, and problems with hyperactivity. He gave it to a representative sample of children ages 6–18. For what purpose did Bob use this sample of children?a. standardization b. normalization
c. to test reliability
d. to test validity
Standardization is a method used in research for gathering and treating participants for a particular study. It is used when the result of one group is to be compared with the result of a second group, and hence each group must be given equal opportunities to succeed. This process is often lengthy. Bob used this sample of children because he wanted standardization.
