The Effect of Grouped versus Randomized Questionnaire Format on Scale Reliability and Validity: A Three-Study Investigation.
Schriesheim, Chester A.; And Others
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v49 n3 p487-508 Fall 1989
Three studies explored the effects of grouping versus randomized items in questionnaires on internal consistency and test-retest reliability with samples of 80, 80, and 100, respectively, university students and undergraduates. The 2 correlational and 1 experimental studies were reasonably consistent in demonstrating that neither format was clearly superior. (SLD)
