A New Method for the Statistical Control of Rating Error in Performance Ratings.
Bannister, Brendan D.; And Others
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v47 n3 p583-96 Fall 1987
To control for response bias in student ratings of college teachers, an index of rater error was used that was theoretically independent of actual performance. Partialing out the effects of this extraneous response bias enhanced validity, but partialing out overall effectiveness resulted in reduced convergent and discriminant validities. (Author/GDC)
