Reliability

The teachers’ ratings are based on a 4-point scale (0 = never, 1 = sometimes, 2 = often, and 3 = almost always) (Kilgus, Chafouleas, & Riley-Tillman, 2013). Using Cronback 's alpha, SAEBRS demonstrates internal consistency reliability for social behaviors (r = .89), for academic behaviors (r = .93), and for general behaviors (r = .93) (Kilgus, Sims, von der Embse, & Riley-Tillman, 2015) . Attention-to-Task. Attention-to-task will be coded once a week by graduate and undergraduate…

The two assessments that were administered to the client were the Gambler Addiction Index (GAI) and the Coping Response Inventory Adult Form (CRI). The purpose of the GAI is to measure the severity and intensity of an individual’s gambling addiction. In addition to, the assessment measures the strong impulses an individual has to gamble and the harmful consequences of gambling. The rationale of selecting this assessment for the client, Alan, was because in the previous session, Alan mentioned an…

1. In Langston Hughes’, Radioactive Red Caps, we are given very little about our narrator. But what we are given is the basic facts that the narrator is black and slightly intelligent. We know that he is intelligent by the way he phrases his sentences. In the opening line he says, “that Negroes today are being rapidly integrated into every phase of American life from the Army and Navy to schools to industries—advancing, advancing!” (210) The narrator also thinks himself above others due to his…

setting and for assessing the efficiency of management (Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, 1994). The enquiry of reliability looks at the uniformity of the implement to reach the same analytical deductions (Volk, et al., 2007). Reliability denotes to dependability of repeatability of scores and is a sign of unsystematic measurement error (Volk, et al., 2007). The notion behind reliability is that any substantial outcomes must be more than one off from the estimated focal point and be…

nonverbal communication skills client might do better drawing than verbally discussing issues. Weaknesses that are included within the test include the inconsistency of the test due to the multiple versions and interpretations available that affect the reliability and validity of the test. Another weakness is multicultural concerns pertaining language and cultural barrier for test takers. These concerns can also affect the results and interpretations, which can cause adverse effects to do the…

and reliability is a fairly new phenomenon; it was thought that analyzing the findings was not needed because this particular type of research deals with real-time (interviews or observations). However, it was discovered that researchers showed some form of bias in their studies. The belief is that the studies were bias because most researchers are looking for some form of funding. Therefore, many are now finding themselves having to prove their qualitative studies with validity/reliability…

alarm, leading to a Panorama investigation this week, entitled ‘Could a Robot do my Job?’” Jane Merrick (2015) mentioned in an Independent Newspaper. Although automation seems like a threat they are plenty of positive aspects to it such as the reliability, productivity and job increases. The concept of automation have been tossed around quite a bit lately and wrongfully miss judged at that. Automation is “the state of being operated automatically” according to the…

Reliability and validity are important factors; they are key factors for having a good test. Reliability is when your test is consistent, whereas validity is the accuracy of your test. You can have a reliable test, yet not valid, but you cannot have a valid test without it being reliable. Here is an example of how reliability and validity work together. Let’s say your scale is 5lbs off, if you weigh yourself it will consistently weigh you 5 lbs off, this is reliability. Validity is your test…

of sound assessment practice namely reliability, feasibility and educational impact. Reliability Reliability refers to the ‘reproducibility’, ‘repeatability’ or ‘consistency’ of the scores obtained from an assessment (Memon et al, 2010; van der Vleuten et al, 2005). Reliability is generally expressed as a coefficient ranging from 0 (no reliability) to 1 (perfect reliability). Since it is difficult to achieve perfect reliability in any assessment, a reliability coefficient of 0.80 is regarded as…

Reliability can be measured by test-retest reliability and Internal consistency reliability. Test-retest reliability is a measure of measurement error by repeating the procedure under the same conditions, and in a short period of time. To demonstrate test-retest reliability, we perform the same test to the same test respondents on two separate occasions. Internal consistency reliability is a measure of how well the questionnaires on the test…
