Study Notes

Reliability refers to the consistency and dependability of measurements.
Classical test theory assumes that errors of measurement are random.
Variance can be broken down into true variance and error variance.
The standard error of measurement tells us how much a score varies from the true score.
The greater portion of total variance attributed to true variance, the more reliable the test.
Measurement error refers to all factors associated with the process of measuring a variable.
Random error is a source of error in measuring a variable caused by unpredictable fluctuations and inconsistencies.
Systematic error is a source of error in measuring a variable that is typically constant or proportionate to the true value of the variable.
Test-retest reliability measures the correlation between scores from the same group on two different administrations of the same test.
Internal consistency measures how well each item on a test measures the same construct.
