The example given describes interjudge reliability, which refers to the consistency of measurements made by two or more observers or judges. Patricia and John were the observers measuring the occurrences of the words "right" and "responsibility" in the textbook, and the fact that they only disagreed by two occurrences indicates a high level of interjudge reliability. Option A (external validity) refers to the extent to which findings can be generalized to other populations or settings, and is not relevant to this example. Option B (external reliability) is not a commonly used term in research methods, and is not relevant to this example. Option C (internal reliability) refers to the consistency of measurements made by the same observer or instrument, and is not relevant to this example. Option D (internal validity) refers to the extent to which a study establishes a causal relationship between variables, and is not relevant to this example.
