Description
Summary:This note reports the computation of the coefficient of reproducibility and alpha for Blood and Wolfe's eight-item measure of family decision making. This instrument was administered to a sample of 258 wives and 221 husbands. The coefficient of reproducibility is.88 and.86 for the wives and husbands respectively, while alpha is.62. It is suggested that the computation of measures of internal consistency become a more standard procedure.
