Item Homogeneity, Scale Reliability, and the Self-Concept Hypothesis

Taylor, James B.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, 37, 2, 349-61, Sum 77

The reliability and item homogeneity of personality scales are in part dependent on the content domain being sampled, and this characteristic reliability cannot be explained by item ambiguity or scale length. It is suggested that clarity of self concept is also a determinant. (Author/JKS)
