✦ Synopsis

Research in the social and behavioral sciences is relying more on records of behavior made by human observers in naturalistic settings. Guidelines for these types of observational studies have emphasized the need to provide information on reliability. In this article, we present generalizability theory as a method for designing, assessing, and improving the reliability of observational studies.
