Correlation & PredictionREVIEW • Correlation • Bivariate Direct/Indirect Cause/Effect • Strength of relationships (is + stronger than negative?) • Coefficient of determination (r2); Predicts what? • Linear vs Curvilinear relationships
Table 5-2Variable Classification IndependentDependent Presumed cause Presumed effect The antecedent The consequence Manipulated/measured by researcher Outcome (measured) Predicted from Predicted to Predictor Criterion X Y
Some Examples • Chi-SquareGender and knee injuries in collegiate basketball players • Independent t-testDifferences in girls and boys (independent groups; mutually exclusive) • Dependent t-testPre and Post measurement of same group or matched pairs (siblings) • One-Way ANOVADefensive ability (1, 2 or 3) and throwing distance (IV of >2 levels)

Topics for Discussion • Reliability (variance & PPM correlation support reliability & validity) Consistency Repeatability • Validity Truthfulness • Objectivity Inter-rater reliability
Observed, Error, and True Scores Observed Score = True Score + Error Score ALL scores have true and error portions
There is variation in observed, true & error scores • Error can be + or – (increase/decrease observed scores) • Error scores contribute LITTLE to observed variation • S2o = S2t + S2e
ReliabilityTHIS IS HUGE!!!! Reliability is that proportion of observed score variance that is true score variance TIP: use algebra to move S2t to stand alone S2o = S2t + S2e

Reliability Coefficients • Interclass Reliability • Correlates 2 trials • Intraclass Reliability • Correlates >2 trials
Interclass Reliability (Pearson Product Moment) • Test Retest (administer test 2x & correlate scores) • See Excel document (Norm-ref msmt examples) • Time, fatigue, practice effect • Equivalence (create 2 “equivalent” test forms) • Odd/Even test items on a single test • Addresses most of the test/retest issues • Reduces test size 50% • Split Halves • Spearman-Brown prophecy formula
Spearman Brown Prophecy Formula k = the number of items I WANT to estimate the reliability for divided by the number of items I HAVE reliability for
Table 6-3Odd and Even Scores for 10 Subjects Subject Odd Even 1 12 13 2 9 11 3 10 8 4 9 6 5 11 8 6 7 10 7 9 9 8 12 10 9 5 4 10 8 7 Sum (S) 92 86 Mean 9.2 8.6 S 2.2 2.6 Variance (S2) 4.8 6.7 Assume a 30-item test rxx’ = .639 (low but test is only 15 items)
Are these two trials consistent? Subject Trial 1 Trial 2 1 15 25 2 17 27 3 10 20 4 20 30 5 23 33 6 26 36 7 27 37 8 30 40 9 32 42 10 33 43 Sum (S) 233 333 Mean 23.3 33.3 S 7.7 7.7 Variance (S2) 59.1 59.1 All scores changed by 10 points If reliability= consistency, how can you calculate reliability considering a constant change in scores? rxx’ = 1.00
Intraclass Reliability ANOVA ModelCronbach's alpha coefficient Alpha Coefficient K = # trials (different than in the Spearman-Brown prophecy formula)
Intraclass (ANOVA) ReliabilitiesCommon terms you will encounter • Alpha Reliability • Kuder Richardson Formula 20 (KR20) (items scored 0/1) • Kuder-Richardson Formula 21 (KR21) • ANOVA reliabilities
All are calculated the same: partition total variance in scores into PEOPLEtotal variance between participants (total or observed S2) TRIALS variance across trials (error S2) PEOPLE-BY-TRIALS not everyone performs equally differently across trials (error S2)
