Part of Holly's assessment of disordered eating involves having trained individuals observe and score the behavior of individuals who may have disordered eating.

A. Split-half
B. Test-retest
C. Inter-rater
D. Parallel forms

Answer 1

Holly is assessing inter-rater reliability to ensure consistent observations by different raters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Holly is developing an assessment tool for diagnosing disordered eating, and as part of validating this tool, she has employed two trained observers to watch videos and score the behaviour of individuals who might have disordered eating issues. The type of reliability Holly is assessing is inter-rater reliability which looks at the consistency of observations between different raters to ensure that the assessment tool produces stable results, regardless of who is using it.
