A study of the reliability of judgments in relation to the certainty of the judgments, to the interval between judgments, and to the number of subjects judged

Abstract

Analysis of ratings of pupils by 19 teachers indicates that ability to rate others reliably is not greatly affected by the number of cases or the time interval between ratings. Degrees of certainty expressed by the rater are not a valid criterion of the reliability of the judgments expressed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
