Answer to Question 1

Students should identify and explain:
A) Stability Reliability - measurement reliability across time; measure that yields consistent results at different time points, assuming what is being measured does not itself change.
B) Representative Reliability - measurement reliability across groups; a measure that yields consistent results for various social groups. An indicator has high representative reliability if it yields the same result for a construct when applied to different subpopulations.
