Methodological analysis demonstrates score confidence intervals improve Aiken's item content-relevance index estimation, highlighting better precision during psychological scale development.
Item content-relevance is an important consideration for researchers when developing scales used to measure psychological constructs. Aiken (1980) proposed a statistic, V, that can be used to summarize item content-relevance ratings obtained from a panel of expert judges. This article proposes the application of the Score confidence interval to Aiken's V statistic to improve the inference of the unknown population value of V. The application of the Score confidence interval to V is described, a numerical example is provided, and a demonstration of the Score confidence interval is presented for ratings obtained in the development of a scale measuring life skills.
