Laoghaire and Ryu are research assistants in a developmental psychology laboratory.They are to watch several hours' worth of video footage and code the various interactions.Laoghaire codes tapes 1 to 25 while Ryu codes tapes 26 to 50.When they are finished,they switch tapes so that Laoghaire can code tapes 26 to 50 and Ryu can code tapes 1 to 25.Neither is allowed to see how the other is coding until all the tapes have been coded by both of them.If Laoghaire and Ryu code in a similar fashion,the coding measurement will have
A) interjudge reliability.
B) internal consistency.
C) content validity.
D) longevity.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interjudge reliability refers to the extent to which two or more independent raters or observers agree on how they score or classify a particular event or behavior. In this case, Laoghaire and Ryu are independent raters who are coding the same set of videos. If they code in a similar fashion, it indicates that there is a high degree of agreement or consistency between their ratings, suggesting interjudge reliability of the measure. Internal consistency refers to the extent to which all the items in a measure assess the same construct, and is not applicable in this scenario. Content validity refers to the extent to which a measure adequately represents the construct it is supposed to measure, and longevity refers to the durability or long-term stability of a measure, both of which are not relevant in this scenario.
