Tóm tắt

The commonly used form of r wg. (J) can display irregular behavior, so four variants of this index were examined. An alternative index, r* wg. J, is recommended. This index is an inverse linear function of the ratio of the average obtained variance to the variance of uniformly distributed random error. r* wg.Jis superficially similar to Cronbach’s α, but careful examination confirms that r* wg.Jis an index of agreement, not reliability. Based on an examination of the small-sample behavior of r wgand r* wg.J, sample sizes of 10 or more raters are recommended.
