Reliability is a measure of the stability or consistency of test scores. You can also think of it as the ability for a test or research findings to be repeatable. For example, a medical thermometer is a reliable tool that would measure the correct temperature each time it is used. In the...
Reliability - One of the Foundations of Science As we have seen, understanding the definition of reliability is extremely important for any scientist but, for social scientists, biologists and psychologists, it’s a crucial foundation of any research design. In psychometry, for example, the construc...
The average inter-item correlation uses all of the items on our instrument that are designed to measure the same construct. We first compute the correlation between each pair of items, as illustrated in the figure. For example, if we have six items we will have 15 different item pairings (...

Virtual Instrument TechnologyThe contactor is a kind of low voltage electrical apparatus which has a large amount and wide application scope. It is widely applied to electric power system and control system. The contactor's quality and reliability are very important.The contactor reliability tested ...
As an example, if a survey posits that a student's aptitude score is a valid predictor of a student's test scores in certain topics, the amount of research conducted into that relationship would determine whether or not the instrument of measurement (here, the aptitude as they relate to the...
The reliability of self-report data is an Achilles’ heel of survey research. For example, opinion polls indicated that more than 40 percent of Americans attend church every week. However, by examining church attendance records, Hadaway and Marlar (2005) concluded that the actual attendance was ...
To improve clinical research on ART adherence in this population, properties of measuring instruments, such as reliability, validity, and MI must be analyzed. While the importance of reliability and validity for assessing a self-report instrument is well-understood, measurement invariance is increasingly...
Therefore, if medically untrained examiners could be used without cost to the quality, this might produce a better evaluation at defensible cost and could also be useful in a research context. The aim of this study was to answer the question: given a 10-test package for patients with ...
