Reliability Generalization: Exploring Variance in Measurement Error Affecting Score Reliability across Studies.

Vacha-Haase, Tammi

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v58 n1 p6-20 Feb 1998

Proposes a new method, reliability generalization, for meta-analysis. Reliability generalization characterizes the typical reliability of scores for a test across studies, the amount of variability in reliability coefficients, and the sources of this variability. Analysis of 87 reliability coefficients for two scales of the Bem Sex Role Inventory (S. Bem, 1974) illustrates the method. (SLD)
