Mixed Standard Scale Response Inconsistencies as Reliability Indices.
Benson, Philip G.; Dickinson, Terry L.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v43 n3 p781-89 Aut 1983
The mixed standard scale is a rating format that allows researchers to count internally inconsistent response patterns. This study investigated the meaning of these counts, using 943 accountants as raters. The counts of internally inconsistent response patterns were not related to reliability as measured by Cronbach's alpha. (Author/BW)
