Question 33

True/False

Review LaterAdd Note

A split-half reliability estimate is NOT a pure measure of internal consistency.

If coefficient alpha reliability is unacceptably low,then the items on the selection measure may be assessing more than one characteristic.

Interrater agreement indices are generally restricted to interval or ratio data.

In general,as the length of a measure decreases,its reliability also increases.

Describe (verbally)how each of the following reliability estimates is calculated: a.test-retest b.parallel or equivalent forms c.internal consistency (in general) d.interrater

An obtained score consists of which two components?

The standard error of measurement is another approach for estimating reliability.

Kuder-Richardson reliability estimates are usually lower than those obtained from split-half estimates.

With increasing time intervals,test-retest reliability coefficients will generally decrease.

Selection measures are not simply "reliable" or "not reliable," there are degrees of reliability.

Although interrater agreement indices have their limitations,they are still widely used in selection research.

In the context of personnel selection,the reliability of criterion measures need not be as high as predictor measures.

The higher the value of a reliability coefficient,the less the measurement error.

For a test with a time limit (i.e.,a speed test) ,which reliability estimation procedure is not appropriate?

What is the difference between interclass and intraclass correlations (reliability estimates) ?

With a long time interval between administrations of a measure (test-retest) ,what could cause scores to change resulting in an underestimate of the reliability?

What factor determines the choice of KR-20 or coefficient alpha as appropriate for estimating internal consistency reliability?

What impact does memory have on a test-retest reliability estimate?
