Measurement Error of Scores on the Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale across Studies (2001, methodology): “Examples of RG studies include examinations of the Bem Sex Role Inventory (Vacha-Haase, 1998), Beck Depression Inventory (Yin & Fan, 2000), “Big Five Factors” of personality across various tests (Viswesvaran & Ones, 2000), NEO–”
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Score Reliability Across: Studies a Meta-Analytic Reliability Generalization Study (2002, background): “It is not uncommon to examine hundreds of articles that yield only a few reliability coefficients for analysis (Capraro et al., 2001; Helms, 1999; Henson et al., 2001; Vacha-Haase et al., 2000; Viswesvaran & Ones, 2000; Yin & Fan, 2000).”
A Framework for Reporting and Interpreting Internal Consistency Reliability Estimates (2002, background): “…with this assertion, several researchers (e.g., Caruso, 2000; Henson, Kogan, & Vacha-Haase, 2001; VachaHaase, 1998; Viswesvaran & Ones, 2000; Yin & Fan, 2000) have provided examples of score reliability estimates that have varied significantly among different administrations of the same…”
Reliability of Scores from the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire: A Reliability Generalization Study (2001, background): “…the reliability of scores does, in fact, vary as a function of participant and study characteristics (e.g., Caruso, 2000; Caruso & Edwards, in press; Vacha-Haase, 1998; Yin & Fan, 2000; but see Viswesvaran & Ones, 2000), supporting the notion that reliability is a property of scores and not tests.”
Reliability Generalization of Working Alliance Inventory Scale Scores (2002, background): “Nevertheless, RG studies have been conducted on a number of wellknown, clinically-oriented psychological tests, including, to name a few, symptom-based tests, such as the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) ( Yin & Fan, 2000 ), and personality tests, such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Invento”
Starting at the Beginning: An Introduction to Coefficient Alpha and Internal Consistency (2003, background): “As a number of authors have pointed out, how- ever, reliability is a characteristic of the test scores, not of the test itself (e.g., Caruso, 2000; Pedhazur & Schmelkin, 1991; Yin & Fan, 2000).”
A Meta-Analysis of Transactional Leadership and Follower Performance: Double-Edged Effects of LMX and Empowerment (2021, methodology): “When reliabilities were missing from primary studies, we imputed sample-weighted reliabilities that we calculated following recommendations by Yin and Fan (2000).”
Validating the Beck Depression Inventory-II in Indonesia's general population and coronary heart disease patients (2013, background): “The moderate value of test-retest reliability was probably because the long interval between test and retest produced more measurement error (Yin & Fan, 2000).”
Characterizing Measurement Error in Scores Across Studies: Some Recommendations for Conducting “Reliability Generalization” Studies (2002, methodology): “For example, in their RG study of the Beck Depression Inventory, Yin and Fan (2000) chose to code whether the sample represented (a) clinical psychiatric patients versus nonclinical respondents, (b) respondents with physical diseases versus those without physical disease, and (c) respondents with a ”
The Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (BIDR) (2007, methodology): “For example, Yin and Fan (2000) identified over 1,200 studies that used the Beck Depression Inventory.”
Treating Cronbach’s Alpha Reliability Coefficients as Data in Counseling Research (2006, methodology): “We use the DG and referent data, summarized in Table 1 to illustrate several types of RG studies that are easily accomplished and, as Yin and Fan (2000) point out, will make it possible to understand how and why the reliability of measurements obtained from a particular scale vary across studies.”
