Answer:
c) validity
Explanation:
Validity: In psychology, the term validity refers to the tendency of a test to measure what the test is supposed or claims to measure. It is the judgement which is based on different types of evidence.
In other words, it is the extent to which a particular conclusion, concept, or measurement is well-defined and responds accurately or precisely in the real world.
The validity of an experiment can be increased by improving measurement techniques, controlling different variables, adding placebo or control groups, etc.
In the question above, Gunter's statement is equivalent to saying that the WAIS lacks the validity.
Answer: True
Explanation: The Supreme Court admitted that it is haphazard to treat similar things differently and that mandatory death penalty statutes eliminated this problem, but also reckless to treat two different things the same way. In essence, to impose the same penalty on all convicted murderers, even though all defendants
are different, is just as capricious as imposing a penalty randomly.
To relieve this problem, some sentencing guidelines became necessary. This gave rise to the guided discretion statutes that set standards for juries and judges to
use when deciding whether to impose the death penalty. The Court reasoned that, guided discretion statutes struck a reasonable balance between giving the jury some discretion and allowing it to consider the defendant's background and character and the circumstances surrounding the crime.
