Reliability Flashcards
1
Q
What is Reliability
A
results of studies are
- consistent when replicated
2
Q
what three measurement tools are used to test reliability
A
- observation
- Questionnaires / Interviews
- Experimental conditions
3
Q
What is external reliability
A
how consistent results are when repeated
4
Q
what is internal reliability
A
how consistent the form of measurement is within the test
5
Q
how do you assess internal reliability
A
- split half method
6
Q
how do you assess external validity
A
- test/retest
- inter-rater reliability
7
Q
what is the split half method
A
split a test into two halves - stronger correlation = more internally reliable
8
Q
what is the test/retest method
A
repeat study with same measures = strong correlation = more reliable
9
Q
what is inter-rater reliability
A
two / more observers - observe - at different times - stronger correlation between the two = more reliable
