Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interrater reliability refers to the consistency of ratings or measurements made by different observers or raters. In this scenario, Dick and Jane are the two different observers who rated the aggressiveness of preschool children, and their high level of similarity in their ratings indicates good interrater reliability. Internal consistency refers to the consistency of ratings within a single rater, equivalent form reliability involves using different versions of the same test to measure consistency, and test-retest reliability refers to the consistency of scores over time when the same test is administered. None of these options accurately describe the scenario presented.
