The reliability of peer nominations under various conditions of administration

Abstract

Based on data collected for 23 trainee sections of Naval OCS students, the effects on reliability of peer nominations were studied for three variables: time the group spent together, nature of the set given, and quality or characteristic to be evaluated. Corrected split half reliabilities remained fairly constant as time spent together increased, and early-late rating correlated. 90. Difference in set made no difference. 15 references.
