Match List I and List II
| List I (Tests Reliability) |
List II (Description) |
||
| A | Test and re-test |
I | Delivering a questionnaire in two parts, separately, to a sample group |
| B | Inter-rater |
II | Providing of a questionnare which are equivalent for respondents. |
| C | Parallel forms. |
III | The same test conducted by different goals |
| D | Split-half |
IV | The test, over a period of time, is repeated. |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Correct Answer :
A-IV, В-III, С-II, D-I
Solution :
The correct option is A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I.
To understand why this is the correct matching, let us break down each test of reliability listed in List I and match it with its correct description in List II:
1. A - Test and re-test matches with IV:
Test-retest reliability measures the consistency of results when the same test is administered to the same group of people at two different points in time. Therefore, it matches description IV: "The test, over a period of time, is repeated."
2. B - Inter-rater matches with III:
Inter-rater (or inter-observer) reliability assesses the degree of agreement or consistency between different observers, raters, or researchers conducting the same test or evaluation (referred to here as "different goals" or different evaluators carrying out the process). Thus, it matches description III: "The same test conducted by different goals".
3. C - Parallel forms matches with II:
Parallel forms reliability (also known as equivalent forms reliability) involves using two different but equivalent versions of a questionnaire or test administered to the same group of respondents to see if they yield consistent results. This corresponds to description II: "Providing of a questionnaire which are equivalent for respondents."
4. D - Split-half matches with I:
Split-half reliability measures internal consistency by splitting a single questionnaire or test into two halves (e.g., odd items vs. even items) and separately analyzing the responses of a sample group to check for consistency. Hence, it matches description I: "Delivering a questionnaire in two parts, separately, to a sample group".
By combining these individual matches, we get:
A - IV
B - III
C - II
D - I
