Question

1. After obtaining results demonstrating that the questionnaire items consistent with each other, the researchers decide to take additional measures to assess the reliability questionnaire by comparing scores on their bored eating scale to the scores participants received on an emotional eating scale. The data for the emotional eating scale were collected concurrently with the bored eating scale for the same sample of 250 undergraduate students. Indicate what type of reliability the researchers are going to use in this instance (1pt):
   1. Test-Retest Reliability
   2. Parallel Forms Reliability
   3. Inter-Rater Reliability
   4. Internal Consistency

Answer 1

Option b. Parallel Forms Reliability is correct.

The type of reliability the researchers are going to use in this instance is Parallel Forms Reliability.

It is a measure of reliability obtained by administering different versions or sets of an assessment tool such as a questionnaire to the same group of people within a short period of time. An estimate of reliability is then calculated from these different sets. The different sets must contain items that probe the same construct, knowledge base and skills of the participants, etc,.
