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).
