Confidence intervals about score reliability coefficients, please: An EPM guidelines editorial

Confidence intervals for reliability coefficients can be estimated in vario us ways. The present article illustrates a variety of these applications. T his guidelines editorial also promulgates a request that EPM authors report confidence intervals for reliability estimates whenever they report score reliabilities and note what interval estimation methods they have used. Thi s will reinforce reader understanding that all statistical estimates, inclu ding those for score reliability, are affected by sampling error variance. And these requirements may also facilitate understanding that tests are not impregnated with invariant reliability as a routine part of printing.
