Reliability of Consistency of What? • Observers or raters • Tests over time • Different versions of the same test • A test at one point in time
Inter-Rater or Inter-Observer Reliability Object or phenomenon
Inter-Rater or Inter-Observer Reliability Object or phenomenon Observer 1
Inter-Rater or Inter-Observer Reliability Object or phenomenon Observer 1 Observer 2
Inter-Rater or Inter-Observer Reliability Object or phenomenon ? = Observer 1 Observer 2
Inter-Rater or Inter-Observer Reliability • Are different observers consistent? • Can establish this outside of your study in a pilot study. • Can look at percent of agreement (especially with category ratings). • Can use correlation (with continuous ratings).
Test-Retest Reliability Time 1 Time 2
Test-Retest Reliability Test Test = Time 1 Time 2
Test-Retest Reliability Stability over time Test Test = Time 1 Time 2
Test-Retest Reliability • Measure instrument at two times for multiple persons. • Compute correlation between the two measures. • Assumes there is no change in the underlying trait between time 1 and time 2.
Parallel-Forms Reliability Time 1 Time 2
Parallel-Forms Reliability Form A = Form B Time 1 Time 2
Parallel-Forms Reliability Stability across forms Form A = Form B Time 1 Time 2
Parallel-Forms Reliability • Administer both forms to the same people. • Get correlation between the two forms. • Usually done in educational contexts where you need alternative forms because of the frequency of retesting and where you can sample from lots of equivalent questions.
