Importantly, as hypothesized, measures of treatment burden were negatively associated with HRQOL even after controlling for demographic characteristics, clinical measures of disease duration and disease activity, and patient-reported measures of disease burden.
For convergent validity, Spearman's correlation coefficients were used to examine the relationships between subscales of the KDQOL-36™ and the hypothesized measures, as well as correlations between generic and disease-specific domains.
The relationship between item responses and their hypothesized measured predictor variables (supportive community, perceived knowledge, confidence in instruction, and perceived obstacles to teaching evolution) were significant (Table 3).
Convergent validity describes the degree to which two measures, hypothesized to measure the same construct, correlate.
Convergent validity analyses seek to determine whether two measures, hypothesized to measure the same construct, do in fact correlate, and moderate, statistically significant correlations in the expected direction support convergent validity.
It was also hypothesized that measures could be modeled in a meaningful way to explain student performance on criterion measures of academic competence.
In this study, we hypothesized that measures of ventilatory efficiency, specifically PETCO2 and VE/VCO2 and their patterns of change during exercise, added to other gas exchange measures evaluating peak and sustainable cardiac output, or VO2, could be used to differentiate patterns which indicate possible PV from other causes of exercise gas exchange abnormalities.
We hypothesized that measures of risky decisions and impulsiveness would be associated with tattooing behavior, but that these associations are independent of tobacco use.
Specifically, we hypothesized that measures of diffuse neurodegeneration are more strongly correlated in interconnected grey matter structures and their white matter pathways, than in unconnected structures.
It was hypothesized that measures of executive functions, selective attention, sustained attention, and verbal fluency would be different depending on the COMT genotype and task demand.
As hypothesized the measures of executive functions, selective attention, sustained attention, and verbal fluency were different depending on the COMT genotype and task demand.
