Hello,
I am analysing data from parents and children. A questionaire was given to
parents regarding the health of their child, the same questionaire was asked
of the child (regarding the childs health). I am wondering what is the best
measure of agreement to use?
I have read a lot of conflicting reports about kappa so I am reluctant to
use that. I am leaning towards using Cronbachs alpha but not sure if it is
appropriate in this case. I am looking at approximately 20 questions and
each question asks that the respondant rate their health extra (mostly on a
score of 1 - 5).
Many thanks in anticipation of your answers.
