Types of reliability

Question 1

Test-retest

Answer 1

repeat the same test on the same sample at a different point in time.
-> measured via temporal consistency

Question 2

Parallel form

Answer 2

measures the correlation between two equivalent versions of a test

Question 3

Inter-rater

Answer 3

measures the degree of agreement between different people observing or assessing the same thing.

Question 4

Internal consistency

Answer 4

measure the correlation between items in the test that is used to measure the same construct (reliability of the measuring equipment)

Question 5

Temporal consistency

Answer 5

The correlation between the results of the same test administered on the same sample at two different occasions (test-retest measure)

Question 6

What is reliability?

Answer 6

The extent to which findings can be reproduced when the research is tested in the same conditions

Question 7

Split half

Answer 7

Split the test into 2 parts, let same person completes both set then measure the consistency of result
-> used to assess internal consistency

Question 8

What is needed to look out for when testing these reliabilities?

Answer 8

Order effects (except for inter-rater)
