Development of a criterion of research productivity

Abstract

"A forced-choice rating scale designed to determine the extent of a person's productive research behavior was developed at a Midwestern physical science foundation. Of the two experimental scales developed the better form showed an interrator reliability coefficient of .62 and a validity of .60. When the ratings of two raters were averaged the validity of the scale increased to .74." (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
