Test-Retest Reliability/Evidence
Method evidence record

Test-Retest Reliability

Test-retest reliability quantifies the temporal consistency of a measure by correlating scores obtained from the same participants on two separate occasions. It is a cornerstone of psychometric validation, directly indicating whether a scale or instrument yields stable scores when the underlying construct has not changed.
