Peer reviewedWhitely, Susan E. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1979
Two sources of inconsistency were separated by reanalyzing data from a major study on short-term consistency. Little evidence was found for generalizability or behavioral predictability. Results supported the assumption that measurement error from short-term fluctuations is not due to systematic individual differences in response consistency.…

Peer reviewedEley, Malcolm G.; Stecher, Erica J. – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 1997
Three studies compared the common Likert agree/disagree question form to a behavioral observation form for faculty evaluation. The Likert-type format prompted global, impressionistic responses; the behavioral observation form prompted more objective responses. Results suggest use of behavioral observation rather than agree/disagree questions can…
