New paper - coefficients like alpha/omega are commonly reported to summarize reliability. A sneaky nuance is that reliability is actually different at each score in the data. Paper tries to quantify how representative alpha/omega are of a typical score. link.springer.com/article/10.3...

This is a good thread; I want to piggyback on it and make it more general than science. As a undergrad in Tallahassee I worked part time as a bag boy at a major supermarket chain. Most of the other white men my age worked stock; on my shift [1/x]

For those studying EdTech, I highly recommend the ETS podcast by Neil. It takes a critical look at the role of tech in education and looks at the broader impact; the business models, values, and goals of tech makers often conflict with educators and research. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/e...
