Eloise has decided to measure the theoretical construct of "maturity" with a questionnaire that asks respondents to choose one of several possible actions in response to a situation. For example, one question describes a situation in which a friend and a stranger get into an argument over a meal and the options include acting out by shouting at the stranger, or, acting in the best interests of everyone by attempting to diffuse the situation. Participants are recruited from a Psychology class and asked to take the questionnaire on the first day of classes. Describe two different methods that you could use to determine the reliability of her measure. Be sure to describe how they would be applied to this situation. Remember to use the relevant PsychoLingo terms.
