The type of response data you get from your coder should determine in part the
way you approach the reliability of "raters". Also, it's important to have a se
nse of what you want the reliability to say - percent agreement? linear randk-o
rder? hierarchical agreement?  If you are interested inwhether or not two or mo
re raters place responses in the same category then percent agreement would be
appropriate. I've always felt that percent agreement with more than two raters
or comparing a "rater" to an expert tells you a great deal about the reliabilit
y of the rater, who just happens to be part of the instrument. A low percent ag
reement could, as you suggest, indicate a poor rater or an ambiguous set of cri
teria. If your data are rankings by more than two jugdges then Kendall's concor
dence is appropriate.  If your data are rankings by two judges a pearson correl
ation is appropriate and easily interpreted. Kendall's tau may be appropriate b
ut is computationally problematic for tied randks and always difficult to inter
pret. If I were reviewing a manuscript I'd like to know that the raters were in
agreement, and how much effort (timewise?) it took to make the raters agreeable
.  If it takes a bit of time to get agreement then the instrument may be a bit
ambiguous without training the user.  If you have good agreement with minimal t
raining then the instrument is probably unambiguous, reliable, and may be easil
y used by others.

Don C:
I don't have an answer to your question about finding a sensible way to evaluate
 this sort of change but I found the issue very intriguing. Your comments
 suggest
two distinct types of new situations: responding to challenges that require new
skills in one's own society, and challenges that go with operating in a new
society or culture. Certainly in North America we have myriads of examples of
programs (ex. Outward Bound) run by both private and company groups who
provide individuals with the chance to experience a new environment. By now
there must be research results available on the objectives and successes of
 those
programs, and they should include evaluation procedures. In the same vein, for
those who learn to negotiate a new cultural environment, the Peace Corps is the
major experiment to examine. Certainly someone must have done a dissertation on
the impact of the Peace Corps experience on career paths and individual success.

I would like to know more about why you want to know about how or why "people
change their beliefs about what they can accomplish." Why the emphasis on
 "belief?"
In what way does "belief" enter into the process of deciding whether to take on
 a
new adventure?  Is it possible to identify "belief" independently  from the data
collection process? I am not sure that this is the right concept to understand
 such
personal changes. I would consider a more experiential approach to examining
 what
changed, one that focused on the process of accomplishment and feelings of
 pleasure
and satisfaction in the experience. I am uneasy about giving lots of explanatory
 power
to the articulation of self image in response to questions of a researcher.

It sounds like he's already done some coding of the protocols, within word.
To a certain extent ethnograph doesn't do much more than what can
be done with a word-5 index. 
Some people are looking at SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Languages) for
text analysis and perhaps that would be a fruitful line for interfaces between
WP and text analysis in the future?
My own tradition would be to export via ASCII files, but first having rearanged
the coding already done to be appropriate for the target package. This will
involve some natty use of replace commands...

John,
  You forgot to tell us whether you are working on a Mac (which seems
likely, given Word 5.0), but Windows would be another possibility. Anyway,
where you could get to has a lot to do which platform you are on. (Also,
I believe the Windows version of Word supports macros that could probably
do the job for you, if you like programming, but I think this feature is
not included in even Word 5.1 on Mac.)

Reluctantly I am teaching a mass lecture and must create

I am looking for test-bank software that will:

1. Allow me to import previously-typed ASCII files (which
   I can reformat if need be)

2. Number the test pool questions  as well as renumber questions
   as they appear on the test.

3. Let me select test items in ranges rather than singly.

4. Aloow me to produce two or more scrambled versions of the same
   test without re-selecting items.

Any suggestions ?

Send EMAIL to me personally so as not to clutter the

I assume you are using a Mac with Word 5. If so, HyperQual is your best
bet. You copy all of your Word data into a HyperQual stack then Tag the
exerpts with your catagory codes. You can then create new stacks (3x5
card stacks are the metaphor) each representing a particular code. So
you end up with, for example, a stack of all the excerpts you coded
USE:MONSTWAK, and another stack representing another code. You can
create as many different stacks as you have codes and print out any
combination of these.

  Software for ethnograph is not my domain, but I seem to be missing
something here.  This paragraph seems to imply that THE ETHNOGRAPH
is an IBM compatible product.  Then "if these are not IBM files ..."
If I am reading this right, it should be easy too if they are IBM,
in fact even easier as you don't have the different disk formats to
worry about.  The essential point is that getting an ASCII file
removes all the special characters (ascii codes below the 'blank'
and those in the extended ascii code sets) so you have a pure text
file.  This is the lowest common denominator for specialized
software to easily accept WITHOUT it having the ability to convert
the multitude of different word processor stuff.  (If you are left
with a Mac/IBM conversion problem, commecting the Mac and IBM via
a modem over telephone line is also a feasibility if you are not
networked.)

Subject:      Rater reliability

What's the current thinking on establishing rater (coder) reliability?
What I have in mind is a procedure whereby I give a random sample of
interview segments to a colleague and have him/her attempt to code those
segments using my categories.  I would then calculate the percentage of
overlap between the two.

Does this seem unnecessary or erroneous to people?  I should say that the
use of triangulation for addressing validity/reliability is not really
an option since the only data source I have are group interviews (no
observations etc.) with no other data collection techniques for
data comparison.

Is the establishment of coder reliability necessary for publication?

Thanks in advance.

Regarding beliefs as affecting what one can accomplish, it has been shown in
some sports psychology studies that when an experiment is manipulated so that
subjects think they can do well (have high sense of self efficacy), their
physical performance improves. There is some difficulty in measuring one's
beliefs about what one can accomplish,and perhaps belief is too fuzzy a word,
but it would seem extremely relevant to consider sense of self efficacy as a
factor in accomplishment.

If you are using a hypercard-based system it is easy.  If
facility is not provided by the author, you can make a button
rather easily to open the file, read the text line by line into
the appropriate cards, and then close the file.  It can write
until it runs out of lines and then get a new card if you use
an appropriate control structure.  If you do not know hypertalk
it is easy to follow from any one of a number of books.  If
that is not possible for you, send me the particulars (which
package you are using, etc. ) to my private email and I will
try to send you a patch that you can code.

        What you assume when you ask that we 'give back $300 billion'
is that a. the parents have the time to stay home and teach the children,
b. The parents are qualified to teach the children, c. The parents WANT
to teach the children.

        If it was not for ps education, I am certain I would not be in college
debating via Internet.  Children seem less educated, sure; but by decon-
structing the methods by which we give even the smallest slivers of
knowledge to those, such as myself, who did not have a supportive home with
two loving parents willing to educate me 24 hours a day, we are not disem-
powering the parents; we are empowering the children, which is what the whole
to-do is all about in the first place.

        As has been said in the past, if you do not like the public schools,
there are plenty of private ones to which you can send your children.
Having seen the demented products of some 'excellent private schools with
a history of tradition and ethics' I hope that you continue to send your
kids to a public school.  It may not be nirvana, but then again, life
is a compromise, do or die.
