Dr. Sheffield is a clinical psychologist who specializes in treating pathological gambling. Pathological gambling is defined as

being unable to resist impulses to gamble. Bothered by not having a good measure that he can give to clients to determine whether they are suffering from this condition, he creates a new measure of pathological gambling. The measure has 15 questions, and it takes 20 minutes to complete. To test his measure, Dr. Sheffield gives his measure to a group of his clients and at the same time measures how many times they have been gambling in the past month. He predicts that clients who score higher on his measure will also report gambling more times in the past month. This procedure is meant to provide evidence for which of the following?
a. Content validity
b. Criterion validity
c. Discriminant validity
d. Face validity

Consider one of the following questions, and write about it:
Alik [6]

Answer:

b. Should prison inmates be offered the opportunity to earn high school or

college degrees, receive job training, and prepare for a future, productive

life outside of prison?

I believe prison inmates should be offered the opportunity to study or receive job training because those opportunities could make a change in their life outside of prison. Their futures could be better just because they got the opportunity to use the time in prison to educate themselves. Education is never wrong and also it is also beneficial for the rest of the society if the prison inmates are productive outside of prison and they do not continue committing crimes.

Explanation:

 In this exercise, you have to select one of the questions and then write about it. I chose to write about question "b". It is important to give your opinion on the question you choose to answer but also inform yourself so what you answer makes sense and is related to the reality of prison inmates and society.

enot [183]

Answer:

From a social context, bruises on a child's face can be a sign that that a child is being abused, so it may be a deprived child.

Explanation:

In a child, in one way or another, facial bruising is a warning sign. The main causes of bruises in a child may be trauma occurring during play, a blood clotting problem, or trauma inflicted by abuse.

Child abuse is relevant to a child's health because it not only causes physical damage but also psychological damage, which impacts on normal physical and emotional development.

Children in disadvantaged environments -because of an unstable family or school environment- are often the most affected by physical abuse, which may be caused by a parent or other children.
