Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since Dr. Daily's measure of aggression is a self-report scale that has been demonstrated to be reliable, it means that it shows consistency in its results over time. Reliability in psychological testing and measurement refers to the degree to which an assessment tool produces stable and consistent results. The fact that it is a self-report scale indicates it's a type of survey, where participants report on their own behaviors, feelings, or attitudes.
