Inter-rater Reliability Study

A recent (2009) study compared the “Self” responses of four separate groups. All four groups attended one Eastern U.S. University and while the student population was diverse, the students selected four different classrooms based on their unique scheduling issues. Total “N” = 105 in four groups. Scores created by all participants in the "Pre" assessment were averaged and correlated with each other group.

Average reliability coefficient of: Pearson r = .985
University Class Section Group #1 Group #2 Group #3 Group #4

Group #1
(N = 31)

- .99 .99 .98

Group #2
(N = 33)

  - .99 .98

Group #3
(N = 29)

    - .98

Group #4
(N = 12)

      -


Because it could be argued that the “polarity” of the GEMA™-Lead360 instrument creates artificially high correlations, the study below created inter-rater correlations within the “Self Above Service” and “Service Above Self” items, separately. The results are listed below.

Self Above Service Items

University Class Section Group #1 Group #2 Group #3 Group #4

Group #1

- .92 .88 .88

Group #2

  - .90 .89

Group #3

    - .86

Group #4

      -

 

Service Beyond Self Items

University Class Section Group #1 Group #2 Group #3 Group #4

Group #1

- .91 .91 .86

Group #2

  - .91 .86

Group #3

    - .87

Group #4

      -

Average reliability coefficient of: Pearson r = .89
