- 1Internal reliabilityThe extent to which the procedure can be replicated
- 2External reliabilityThe extent to which the results of the research can be replicated
- 3Inter-rater reliabilityThe levels of agreement between 2 or more researchers when observing the same behaviour in the same way
- 4What does reliability mean?The consistency or replicability of research
- 5How do we check the reliability of research?Split half method and test-retest reliability
- 6Split half methodMainly used when conducting a self report (questionnaires and interviews). It is when two halves of a questionnaire are similar and repeat questions worded slightly differently are put in to check how consistent participants are when answering.
- 7Test-retest reliabilityWhen participants are tested more than once. Participants should get the same or very similar results for it to be reliable.
- 8How to increase internal reliability?The procedure of the study should be standardised making it easier to replicate the procedure
- 9How to increase external reliability?Gather quantitative data as its much easier to replicate and check for consistency
- 10How to increase inter-rater reliability?Researchers should be looking for the same operationalised behaviours using the same coding frame/ behaviour checklist. Researchers should also be observing the same participants at the same time.
- 11ValidityThe extent to which a study has tested or measured what it set out to measure
- 12Internal validityHow well a study measures what it sets out to measure
- 13External ValidityThe extent to which the findings of a study can be generalised to factors outside of the research. This consists of ecological and population validity.
- 14Face validityThe extent to which something looks as if it will measure what it is supposed to measure.
- 15Construct ValidityThe extent to which a test measures all aspects of behaviour in question
- 16Criterion ValidityWhether a test reflects a certain set of abilities in order to predict future behaviour
