- Reliability
- External Reliability: The extent to which a measure is consistent when assessed over time or across different individuals
- Different individuals
- E.g. Kicking measured as 'violent jerk of leg' rather than 'movement of leg' as it is a more specific measure and reliability would increase as all researchers would classify kick as the same thing.
- Inter-rater reliability: The consistency of a measure (degree of measurement) across raters/ observers. Are the same results obtained when 2(+) people conduct same measurement/score the test in the same way? Scores compared (correlation) to determine consistency.
- Over time
- E.g. A person's IQ score should be the same on Monday as it is on Thursday
- Test-retest reliability: Measures the consistency of results when you repeat same test on same sample at different point in time.
- Different individuals
- Internal Reliability: The extent to which a test is consistent within itself
- E.g. Are different items (questions) on a questionnaire all measuring the same thing?
- Split-half method: Measures the extent to which all parts of the test contribute equally to what is being measured.
- External Reliability: The extent to which a measure is consistent when assessed over time or across different individuals
