A RELIABILITY GENERALIZATION META-ANALYSIS OF TRADITIONAL AND CYBER BULLYING VICTIMIZATION SCALES*
Abstract
- The main aim of this study was to review the constructs of traditional and cyber bullying victimization scales. A reliability generalization meta-analysis was accomplished to estimate the average reliability of TBVS and CBVS total scores and to search for the characteristics of the studies that can explain the variability among reliability estimates. An exhaustive literature search enabled to select 21 studies (63 independent samples) that reported alpha coefficients with the data at hand for TBVS and CBVS total score and subscales. An acceptable average coefficient alpha was found for the TBVS total score (α = .75, 95% CI = .69 - .80) and for CBVS total score (α = .78, 95% CI = .76 - .81). Furthermore, the subscales of both TBVS and CBVS were also found to have acceptable average coefficient alpha. Moderator analyses showed a significant statistical relationship with the reliability coefficients with the continuous variables of mean age and gender (male %) and with the substantive characteristics such as sample size. The discussion of the results and suggestions for future studies are described in this study.
