• Methods for Evaluating Interactive Information Retrieval Systems with Users (2009, methodology): “In general, measurement theory suggests the use of multiple items to measure a concept; single items are not considered reliable enough [105, 286].”
• Detecting Insufficient Effort Responding with an Infrequency Scale: Evaluating Validity and Participant Reactions (2014, methodology): “As a thought experiment, if each respondent had diligently responded to the survey, we would have found poor psychometric properties for the infrequency IER scale due to limited true score heterogeneity (see Furr and Bacharach 2014).”
• Virtuous states and virtuous traits: How the empirical evidence regarding the existence of broad traits saves virtue ethics from the situationist critique (2014, background): “…psychometric theory of reliability suggesting that the precision of measurement increases when one increases the number of items or observations (Furr and Bacharach, 2008) as well as Spearman’s observations on the proper use of correlations involving the multiple measurement of the…”
• Effect of Variability on Cronbach Alpha Reliability in Research Practice (2020, methodology): “The estimation that is most frequently used to measure reliability in social science and behavioural is coefficient alpha [8] [9] [29].”
• The Self-Compassion Scale is a Valid and Theoretically Coherent Measure of Self-Compassion (2016, methodology): “Confirmatory factor analyses were used to confirm that scale items fit as intended with the proposed a priori theoretical model (Furr and Bacharach 2008).”
• Are emotion recognition abilities related to everyday social functioning in ASD? A meta-analysis (2016, background): “Second, understanding and providing validity for any given construct involves an examination of the degree to which that construct is associated with related and unrelated constructs (e.g., Cronbach & Meehl, 1955; Furr & Bacharach, 2013).”
• The College Persistence Questionnaire: Development and Validation of an Instrument That Predicts Student Attrition (2009, background): “Probably the greatest value of factor analysis is that it takes one beyond the well-known limitations of face validity (Furr & Bacharach, 2007) and furnishes empirical evidence of latent variables.”
• An empirical analysis of alleged misunderstandings of coefficient alpha (2018, unknown): “The measure that is most frequently used to estimate reliability in behavioral and social science research is coefficient alpha (Field, 2009; Furr & Bacharach, 2008; Warrens, 2015).”
