The types of reliability and/or validity examined in the study

  Using the SUNY Delhi on-line library, find one research article in your area of interest in which reliability and/or validity data for an instrument (scale, test, inventory, survey, questionnaire, etc.) were reported. (You must chose an article that has a section or area where reliability and/or validity are actually reported.) Once you have done this, prepare an initial posting in which you: Tell us a little bit about the study and the instrument being used in the study. Be sure to include what outcomes are measured. Identify the types of reliability and/or validity examined in the study. Report the reliability and/or validity coefficients in your post. Comment on whether you think that these coefficients were high enough to deem the instrument(s) "reliable" and/or "valid", and if so, tell us why. If not, suggest what steps the researchers could consider taking that would perhaps improve the reliability and validity of the instrument.
