Document Summary
Using the data yielded by the method to draw a conclusion regarding the hypothesis. Reliability: degree to which independent measurements of given behaviour are consistent. Interrater reliability : amount of agreement in observations of different raters witnessing same behaviour. Test-retest relia(cid:271)ility : degree of si(cid:373)ilarity of a (cid:272)hild"s perfor(cid:373)a(cid:374)(cid:272)e o(cid:374) t(cid:449)o or (cid:373)ore o(cid:272)(cid:272)asio(cid:374)s. Validity: degree to which effects observed within experiments can be attributed to the factor that the researcher is testing. Internal validity: degree to effects observed can be attributed to the variables that researcher intentionally manipulated. External validity: is the degree to which results can be generalized beyond particulars of the research. Structured interview: useful when goal is to collect self-reports on same topic from everyone being studied. Clinical interviews: useful for obtaining in-depth information about an individual child.

Determine how variables are related to one another.
