Until the development of tau-equivalent reliability, split-half reliability using the Spearman-Brown formula was the only way to obtain inter-item reliability. [4] [5] After splitting the whole item into arbitrary halves, the correlation between the split-halves can be converted into reliability by applying the Spearman-Brown formula.
It may also be difficult if not impossible to guarantee that two alternate forms of a test are parallel measures; 3. Split-half method: This method treats the two halves of a measure as alternate forms. It provides a simple solution to the problem that the parallel-forms method faces: the difficulty in developing alternate forms. [7] It involves:
Split-half reliability (Spearman- Brown Prophecy) and Cronbach Alpha are popular estimates of this reliability. [5] (D) Parallel Form Reliability: It is an estimate of consistency between two different instruments of measurement. The inter-correlation between two parallel forms of a test or scale is used as an estimate of parallel form reliability.
Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha, split half, etc.) Good Cronbach's alpha reported at .80 [2] Inter-rater reliability: No published studies formally checking inter-rater reliability Test-retest reliability (stability) Good Kappa = .60 when administration was done within 2 weeks of first test [28] [2] Repeatability
On average, IQ scores for this scale have been found quite stable across time (Janzen, Obrzut, & Marusiak, 2003). Internal consistency was tested by split-half reliability and was reported to be substantial and comparable to other cognitive batteries (Bain & Allin, 2005).
Generalizability theory, or G theory, is a statistical framework for conceptualizing, investigating, and designing reliable observations.It is used to determine the reliability (i.e., reproducibility) of measurements under specific conditions.
An affidavit previously obtained by the local news stations stated that Jacob left his girlfriend's house, saying he was going to have dinner with his family.
Measurement in psychology and physics are in no sense different. Physicists can measure when they can find the operations by which they may meet the necessary criteria; psychologists have to do the same. They need not worry about the mysterious differences between the meaning of measurement in the two sciences (Reese, 1943, p. 49). [9]
