Questions and Answers

What does a reliability coefficient of r=.85 mean?

  • 85% of variability in observed scores is due to measurement bias
  • 85% of variability in observed scores is due to random error
  • 85% of variability in observed scores is due to sampling error
  • 85% of variability in observed scores is presumed to represent true individual differences and 15% of variability is due to random error (correct)
  • What is the range for moderate reliability?

  • 0.81-1.00
  • 0.00-0.04
  • 0.61-0.80
