What will be an ideal response?
Varies, but some of the threats that could be used include: Instrumentation--the degree to which an instrument may measure different attributes of an individual at two different points in time (e.g., parallel forms of an attitude questionnaire administered before and after training, or different raters rating behavior before and after training). Statistical regression (also known as regression to the mean)--changes in criterion scores resulting from selecting extreme groups on a pretest. Differential selection--using different procedures to select individuals for experimental and control groups. Attrition--differential loss of respondents from various groups. More can be found in the section listed below.
