A newly developed scale is designed to measure masculinity. The researchers perform a number of evaluative tests on the scale using a large representative sample of men. These are listed below. In each case indicate what psychometric property is evaluated, and what it indicates about the scale.

a) The sample were given this scale as well as a well-established test that also measures masculinity. The scores on the two tests are correlated.

b) The sample was given the test twice, three weeks apart. The scores on the test on the two administrations are correlated.

c) The scale was given to a group of monks and to a group of rugby players, and the scores of the two groups compared.

d) The sample was given this scale as well as an established scale for androgeny.

e) The sample’s scores on the test were analysed to find the Cronbach alpha coefficient and item-total statistics.
