| Reliability | Reliability is concerned with the consistency and dependability of a measuring instrument, i.e. it is an indication of the degree to which it gives the same answers over time, across similar groups and irrespective of who administers it. A reliable measuring instrument will always give the same result on different occasions assuming that what is being measured has not changed during the intervening period. A number of techniques can be used to ensure the reliability of a standardised measuring instrument such as an attitude questionnaire, personality test or pressure sore risk calculator. These include test-retest, split-half and alternate forms. There are also statistical tests that can be used to assess reliability such as Cronbach Alpha and the Spearman rho correlation coefficient test. |

| Replication (elaboration model) | a term used with the elaboration model to refer to the situation where a control variable results in the same distributions for partials that occurred in the original table of dependant by independent. For example if a sample were divided into ethnic groups and a relationship were still found between gender and income. |
| Representativeness | The attempt to ensure that a sample has the same characteristics as the population from which it is selected. Statistically this is sought by random sampling techniques. |
