reliability

For example, in the survey on job satisfaction, questions A1 to A10 consist of items related to work-life balance. At this time, the survey was conducted for all respondents in A1~A5, only white-collar in A6~A8, and only blue-collar in A9~A10. At this time, is it not unreasonable to measure the...

Dear all, Consider the case that I issue a questionnaire to 100 subjects (e.g., some personality traits). I suspect that 10 of my subjects did not fill the questionnaire seriously, so I would like to exclude them. How can I statistically show that the quality of my results is better if I...

Hi, I have done a test where 2 different raters had to rate 1000 texts independently according to the following options: - Happy - Sad - Angry - Confused - Could not tell Now, I am trying to determine their agreement (i.e reliability). However, I am facing a dilemma -specially when the do...

I am currently working on constructing a scale. The questions on the scale are measured on a scale from 0-100 in increments of 10, similar to the DES. I ran a factor analysis with my pool of items and eventually got to a scale I liked the psychometrics of. At this point, I realized I didn't...

Hi There, I would need some guidelines for creating a statistical, probabilistic model for a business problem I'm dealing with. Here is the problem: I have a website that connects tourists to tour guides. When a new inquiry comes, a tour guide is assigned (today quasi randomly) to the...

For a reliability study I’m administering patient reported outcomes (questionnaires) with 2 modes of administration (on paper and via an electronic device). I’d like to measure equivalence/reliability of the 2 modes of administration. In other words: does the electronic version of the...

I have constructed two alternative metrics for a particular phenomenon, and I am trying see whether they are approximately equal across the dataset (that is, whether they might be reliable "stand ins" for each other in a larger, later regression analysis, or if one is consistently different from...

Hi all, I'm hoping you can lend me your expertise on this somewhat obscure problem. I have some repeated measures data (time 1 measurement, time 2 measurement, change/difference score). I'm interested in calculating the reliability of the change/difference score. Traditional scale...

Hi, I have been asked to do a correction for attenuation of the context between a specific test (Lets call it test X) and a specific part-test of WAIS-IV (word understanding, lets call it test Y). The reliability for WAIS-IV word understanding (test Y) is r = 0,85 and we assume that the...

Hi all, This may seem like a silly question, but I was wondering if I should remove outliers prior to running reliability analysis or run the tests with outliers included. I am hoping to get a Cronbach's alpha values for three questionnaires that I used in my research.

Hello. I am having a problem with my dissertation and I was wondering if anyone is kind enough to help me out. I am running a within-subjects correlational study using two independent variables, Organizational Identity (OI) and Narcissistic Organizational Identity (NOI). I have 5 dependent...

Hello TalkStats community. I'm currently stuck with a problem, concerning how reliability of a process effects the variance of the process. let me give you an example: Lets assume there is a machine that produces a product X. the machine and runs for 1000 hours. However, the machine has...

How can I evaluate if a created bayesian model is reliable model that makes good predication? To conclude if the created bayesian model produces a low error rate.

Hello, I am new to both this forum and the concept of statistical design so please, treat me like the novice I am! OK, so I am hoping to carry out experimentation on a material. I am testing five different physical parameters of 4 different materials, all of the factors are numerical (i.e...

I have two groups (A and B) that each completed a different version of an experimental measure (measure A and measure B). Both groups also completed a standard, "gold standard", measure. For the purposes of my study, I am treating the "gold standard" measure as a participant's true score. If I...

Hi all, I've run a split-half reliability analysis on my data, but I'm not sure how to interpret the output. I know enough that the Spearman-Brown Coefficient for Equal Lengths will be my r, but what in the SPSS output should be reported as the p value? Sample output below: It's such a...

The aim is to compare two measurement methods. Therefore with each method two consecutive measurements were performed on 25 subjects (so overall 4 x 25 measured values) The relevant parameter is an amplitude. To determine the reliability of each method, the “interindividual coefficient of...

Hi, I am having trouble applying the ICC to data I have collected for my Masters thesis. I have collected 8 sets (of 30 samples) from 40+ participants. Data was collected with constant parameters for all participants in order to find the reliability of the instrument in question. (To clarify...

Hi, My research is on people on particular visas in the US, i.e., immigrants and mostly Asians. In my methods section when I write about the measures, where do I get the Reliability, validity, cronbach alpha figures from? Firstly, do I search for previous research on Asians or on...

There is a fleet of repairable units and the units have system health measurements which consist primarily of vibration amplitudes. The health monitoring system is "new", so the thresholds are based on standard deviations of "normal" operations. So, the thresholds are clearly too low...
