Hello, Jeff

I've used SPSS to calculate variance components (GLM/Variance Components). However, you might find the software GENOVA (and its companion, "G-String") more useful. It is authored by Joe Crick and Robert Brennan and can be downloaded gratis. Robert Brennan's book (Generalizability Theory, 2001, Springer) is interesting and worthwhile, if heavy-going.

Regards
Patricia

Subject: Generalizability theory/ Generalizability coefficient

        Has anybody used spss or created syntax (or macro) to compute
generalizability coefficients (i.e. Shavelson & Webb, 1991)?  We have a 5
item scale measured at 5 different time points.  Using alpha as a measure of
reliability our coefficients range from .65 to .69.  A reviewer suggested we
compute generalizability coefficients instead.  From what I've read I will
probably want to look at variance by person, item, and occasion but I'm
stumped as to how exactly to do this in spss and I didn't see anything on
Raynald's site.  Any help appreciated.  Thanks.
