Abstract

Test-retest reliability of two quality of life instruments and the NEO-FFI-3 were inconsistent between online and paper/pencil administration with a two week retest interval. The paper/pencil results demonstrated expected reliability but the online condition showed significant differences between pretest/posttest with lower reliability estimates, even when testing under controlled conditions.
