Among those that may affect the reliability of measures include imperfections in the measuring process that affect the assignment of scores or numbers in different ways each time a measure is taken and the tendency of the subject not to give truthful answers.
a) Clerical test
The test was given twice - Time 1 and time 2. This is an application of test-retest method of determining reliability which involves administering the same scale to the same respondents at two separate times to test for stability (Zikmund, 2003).
The clerical test was administered twice. Reliability was obtained through the computation of coefficient alpha which, according to Cronbach (http://psych.colorado.edu/~carey/courses/psyc5112/readings/alpha_cronbach.pdf), is an appropriate index of equivalence of tests. It may also measure homogeneity or inter-item consistency. For this report, coefficient alpha in time 1 was .85 and in time 2, was .86. The computed α were ...
