Factors that affect reliability coefficients

  1. Identify and describe two (2) factors that affect reliability coefficients. Be sure to define reliability coefficient in your answer before explaining how the two factors affect reliability coefficients.
  2. What is the test-retest method of estimating reliability? Describe the type of study that would be needed to find evidence of test-retest reliability. When is this method best used? When should it not be used?
  3. Fully explain the relationship between reliability and validity.
  4. Identify the steps of a criterion-related validation study. Be sure to define criterion-related validity in your answer.
  5. Define standard error of measurement. Describe its relationship to confidence intervals (you will need to define confidence intervals in your answer)
  6. What is restriction of range? What is its effect on the validity coefficient? Provide an example of this concept
