Peer reviewedSmith, Philip L. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1979
In this study, generalizability theory is used to examine the dependability of student rating data for making judgments about courses and instruction. The importance of giving adequate attention to the specification of the universe of admissible observations in generalizability theory is discussed. (Author/CTM)

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.…
