Inter-rater reliability

normative scores for various populations. However, in the 1990s many began to attempt to copy or update these norms, and found they could not. Applicable populations: The age group is for those over the age of 5 years. Validity and reliability: Reliability depends on the ability to achieve a given measurement consistently. Validity depends on the

suggests the TNH-STRAITFY has high inter-rater reliability with an excellent intra-class correlation score of 0.96. 1 is deemed a perfect score (Hallgen, 2012). The high inter-rater reliability score adds statistical power to the research regarding the use of TNH-STRATIFY due to consistency of the tool used on consecutive patients (Hallgren, 2012). Although the two raters of the tool scored high intra-class correlation scores contributing to high inter-rater reliability, the tools predictive risk factor

A strength of this article was the explanations throughout the entire article demonstrating the reasoning for choosing the grounded theory methodology design, the types of sampling, data collection, and analysis, along with citing other researchers’ theories to explain these choices. Based on the minimal research previously done on the shame phenomena, it seems that the choice of a grounded theory design was appropriate. Another strength was the practice implications explaining participants rarely

Question In designing tests researchers need to be very careful of issues of standardization, reliability, and validity. Define and explain these three ideas and tell me what steps a researchers might take to ensure that his/her test is standardized, reliable, and valid. Standardization: Establishment of the norms and uniform procedure for giving and scoring a test (Huffman 2012, page 310). Reliable/Reliability: Measure of the consistency and reproducibility of test scores when the test is readministered

A comparison of clinical judgment and actuarial assessment in the context of domestic violence Domestic violence (DV) encompasses social and economic deprivation, and physical, sexual or psychological acts of violence that occurs within domestic settings. In one Australian survey, it was reported that one-third of women in intimate relationships, whether former or current, experienced some form of domestic violence (Morgan & Chadwick, 2009). Therefore, it is vital that risk assessment tools are able

recorded interactions between students and events that were observed in the room. When meeting with Mrs. H. I also had to be objective and factual in reporting the evidence that I observed. Leadership Rater Agreement I learned from my supervising principal how this district handles inter-rater reliability to make sure all teachers are being evaluated fairly. The district will set up a meeting for all the principals to attend together at a centralized location in the district. The district will provide

Motor component of Functional Independence Measure (M-FIM) will also be used in this study. It takes approximately 30 minutes to administer the tool. Its reliability has been graded as excellent and its validity and responsiveness has been graded as adequate. (Barak, 2006) M-FIM has been compared to Barthel Index (BI) as an outcome measure for activities of daily living and it has been found that there is no

The Revised Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines (DIB-R) was designed to reliably diagnose Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). It is not a global diagnostic assessment. Rather, the purpose of the DIB-R is to distinguish Borderline Personality Disorder from other clinical diagnoses (Gunderson, Kolb, & Austin, 1981). Development John Gunderson, M.D. and Jonathon Kolb, M.D developed the Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines (DIB) in 1976 (Hurt, Clarkin, Koenigsberg, Frances, & Nurnberg, 1986).

Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 28(8), 1672-1692. doi: 10.1177/0886260512468319 Introduction A nonexperimental research study was conducted to explain and predict hypervigilance in the returning soldier. Specifically, the researchers aimed to determine if military training is associated with hypervigilance, if trauma alone can produce higher levels of hypervigilance

Quantitative Study The article is a quantitative research study. There were three types of data collected in this study. Data was collected through structured interviews, inter-rater and validity data, statistical analysis, and descriptive data. Interviews took place at the Department of Forensic Psychiatry in Stockholm. A trained research assistant carried out the interview after receiving preparatory training that consisted of 12 test interviews, under the guidance of the first author. These interviews
