Fu, Yuanshu; Wen, Zhonglin; Wang, Yang – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2018
The maximal reliability of a congeneric measure is achieved by weighting item scores to form the optimal linear combination as the total score; it is never lower than the composite reliability of the measure when measurement errors are uncorrelated. The statistical method that renders maximal reliability would also lead to maximal criterion…

Rueger, Sandra Y.; Cipra, Alli; Choe, Hyungjoon; Steggerda, Jake C.; Kirby, Andrea E.; Stone, Lauren B. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2021
Measurement limitations have hindered research on learned helplessness (LH) and mastery orientation (MO) in the classroom. We reduced the 24-item Student Behavior Checklist to a 6-item scale and tested the abbreviated measure for evidence of reliability and validity in a sample of 5th and 6th graders (N = 299). We then replicated findings in an…
