Margins of Error: A Study of Reliability in Survey MeasurementJohn Wiley & Sons, 2007. gada 9. jūl. - 408 lappuses Enhance the quality of survey results by recognizing and reducing measurement errors. Margins of Error: A Study of Reliability in Survey Measurement demonstrates how and hwy identifying the presence and extent of measurement errors in survey data is essential for improving the overall collection and analysis of the data. The author outlines the consequences of ignoring survey measurement errors and also discusses ways to detect and estimate the impact of these errors. This book also provides recommendations of improving the quality of survey data. Logically organized and clearly written, this book:
In conjunction with research data gathered on nearly 500 survey measures and the application of an empirical approach grounded in classical measurement theory, this book discusses the sources of measurement error and provides the tools necessary for improving survey data collection methods. Margins of Error enables statisticians and researchers in the fields of public opinion and survey research to design studies that can detect, estimate, and reduce measurement errors that may have previously gone undetected. This book also serves as a supplemental textbook for both undergraduate and graduate survey methodology courses. |

... Reliability of survey measurement has to do with the quality of the information gathered in responses to survey questions. As I clarify in the next chapter, reliability is conceptualized in terms of the “consistency” or “repeatability ...
... Reliability of measurement is therefore a sine qua non of any empirical science. The researcher interested in understanding the reliability of measurement needs to have three things in order to make progress toward this goal. The first ...
... reliability estimation derived from CTST are less than optimal for evaluating the reliability of survey measures, the classical theory provides an indispensable starting point. One thing that is common among all efforts to evaluate the ...
... reliability of measurement, they often miss the mark (of. Bollen, 1989). In this chapter we provide a comprehensive foundation for understanding approaches to reliability estimation and return to a detailed discussion of these issues in ...
... Reliability is defined as a population parameter, namely, the proportion of the observed variance that is accounted for by true-score variance, which is expressed as the squared correlation between Yg and Tg: COR[Yg,Tg]2 = VAR [Tg] ...
