Study Notes

Reliability in Standardized Testing

Reliability refers to the consistency of a measurement instrument in producing the same results over time, across different forms, or with different administrators.

Focus of Establishing Reliability

The primary focus of establishing reliability in psychological testing is to ensure that the results are consistent and accurate, allowing for valid conclusions to be drawn.

Expressing Reliability

Reliability is typically expressed as a coefficient, which is a numerical value that ranges from 0 (no reliability) to 1 (perfect reliability).

Key Objective for Students

By the end of the topic on reliability, a key objective for students is to be able to evaluate the reliability of a test and understand its implications for measurement and assessment.

Reliability and Assessment

Reliability is a crucial aspect of the process of assessment and measurement, as it directly affects the accuracy and validity of the results, and ultimately, the inferences drawn from them.
