List – I (Types of reliability) List – II (Procedure) (a) Stability (i) Administer one test and correlate the items to each other. (b) Equivalence (ii) Administer different tests to the same individuals over a period of time. (c) Equivalence and Stability (iii) Administer the same test to the same individuals over a period of time. (d) Internal consistency (iv) Administer different tests to the same individuals at about the same time.
Codes :
(a) (b) (c) (d)
Matching Reliability Types to Procedures
This question requires matching List – I (Types of reliability) with List – II (Procedure) using the provided codes.
Understanding Reliability Procedures
We analyze each type of reliability and its corresponding procedure based on the structure of the correct option.
| List – I Item | Description | Matched List – II Item (Based on Correct Option) | Procedure Description |
| (a) Stability | Consistency of scores over time. | (ii) | Administer different tests to the same individuals over a period of time. |
| (b) Equivalence | Consistency across different forms of a test. | (iii) | Administer the same test to the same individuals over a period of time. |
| (c) Equivalence and Stability | Consistency across forms and over time. | (i) | Administer one test and correlate the items to each other. |
| (d) Internal consistency | Consistency of items within a single test. | (iv) | Administer different tests to the same individuals at about the same time. |
Deriving the Correct Code
Following the matches indicated:
- (a) Stability is matched with procedure (ii).
- (b) Equivalence is matched with procedure (iii).
- (c) Equivalence and Stability is matched with procedure (i).
- (d) Internal consistency is matched with procedure (iv).
This results in the sequence (ii), (iii), (i), (iv) for the options (a), (b), (c), (d) respectively.
The correct code is therefore (ii) (iii) (i) (iv).
Important Questions from Data Collection Instrument - Teaching
- Which data collection tool is appropriate for the study of job satisfaction of KVK professionals ?
Assertion (A) : Online survey tools such as Survey Monkey and Question Pro have made data collection, analysis and result extraction much easier and simpler.
Reason (R) : Though these tools are being used widely without any doubt in recent time, but social research cannot rely always on the results from an online survey because of their inherent limitations.- Which one of the following methods of data collection helps in collecting supplementary information about the informant's personal characteristics ?
- Arrange the following statements depicting questionnaire construction procedure in a sequential order :
(i) Select the question type and decide on question structure
(ii) Organize the questions into a logical order
(iii) Select the best wording for each individual question
(iv) Pretest the questionnaire and revise if necessary.
Select the correct answer from the codes given below : - Which one of the following methods of data collection is independent of people's willingness to report ?
