The reliability method which involves correlating scores on two different but equivalent versions of the same instrument is called
A) the parallel forms method.
B) the test-retest method.
C) the split-half method.
D) criterion-related.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parallel forms method involves using two different but equivalent versions of the same instrument and correlating scores between the two versions to determine reliability. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer. The test-retest method involves administering the same test twice to the same group and correlating the scores, the split-half method involves dividing the test into two halves and correlating scores between them, and criterion-related reliability involves correlating scores on one measure with scores on another measure that is considered a gold standard or criterion.
