Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Internal consistency reliability is most appropriate for items on a depression assessment measure, as it measures the degree to which items within the measure are related and consistent with each other in measuring the same construct (depression). Interrater reliability measures the degree of agreement between different raters or evaluators, which is not relevant for items on an assessment measure. Alternate-form reliability measures the consistency between different versions of the same test, and external reliability measures the consistency of results across different contexts or settings, both of which may not be applicable to a depression assessment measure.
