A group of researchers are interested in how people talk to their dogs. They have developed 3 categories of talk- “loving on the dog” which includes praise and compliments for the dog, “therapist dog” which includes the owner sharing personal problems and venting, and “co-conspirator” which includes sharing judgements about passersby with the dog. Two research assistants sit on a bench in a large park and record how often dog walkers make each type of comment to their dog.
What kind of reliability would need to be evaluated for the measure of ‘category of talk’?
