Note. f = fathers, m = mothers, r = raters, i = items. e = unmeasured facets that affect the measurement and/or random events. σ(σ2α) = standard error of the variance component σα. The generalizability coefficients, Eρ2, were estimated based on pooled variance components across three sub-samples.1 The variance component of the fixed father facet is likely biased. See endnote 1 for further elaboration. 2 The crossed D-study design is formally designated as (m:f)RI, whereas the nested design is designated as (R:m:f)I.
