How do we measure test–retest reliability, split-half reliability, and interrater reliability?
What will be an ideal response?
Test–retest reliability is determined by correlating the scores received by a group of participants who were tested at two different times. Split-half reliability is determined by correlating half the items on a set of homogenous questions with the other half. Interrater reliability is determined by correlating the scores provided by two individuals rating/judging a particular behavior.
