Assessing Precision of Change Scores in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: A Generalizability Theory Approach
Hagtvet, Knut A.; Hoglend, Per A.
Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v41 n3 p162 Oct 2008
Precision and generalizability for relative and absolute change scores were estimated by means of error/tolerance ratios and generalizability coefficients for 51 patients receiving 1 year of psychodynamic psychotherapy. These estimations involved 6 scale indicators and 3 raters. Practical suggestions are offered for the number of rates needed to obtain acceptable psychometric properties. (Contains 5 tables.)
