Abstract Using generalizability theory, we discuss the O'Brien (1990) method of aggregate-level reliability assessment. We contrast this theoretical conception of reliability with the theory of individual-level internal consistency. The methodology used is the O'Brien (1990) aggregate-level reliability technique for the R:A design, where "R" denotes that survey respondents reside or are nested within aggregate units (A). The aggregate unit in this analysis is the state. One-way analysis of variance is used to estimate reliabilities. Individual-level measures of reliability are inappropriate techniques when one is evaluating the reliability of aggregated measures of public opinion. Estimating aggregate-level reliability is methodologically simple and should be a common practice among the many researchers using aggregate-level variables created from individual-level data. Journal Information The American Journal of Political Science (AJPS), published four times each year, is one of the most widely-read political science journals in the United States. AJPS is a general journal of political science open to all members of the profession and to all areas of the discipline of political science.

Publisher Information The Midwest Political Science Association, founded in 1939, is a national organization of more than 2,800 political science professors, researchers, students, and public administrators from throughout the United States and over 50 foreign countries. The association is dedicated to the advancement of scholarly communication in all areas of political science. Each year the association sponsors a three-day conference of political scientists in Chicago for the purpose of presenting and discussing the latest research in political science. More than 2,000 individuals participate in this conference, which features 300 panels and programs on politics. The MPSA is headquartered at Indiana University.

Abstract Research on mass political attitude change needs improved measurement tools to allow further theoretical progress. Advances in numerical maximum likelihood estimation procedures have made possible the development of more complex models for measurement use. Markov models of combined attitude change and response unreliability can permit detailed examination of patterns and dynamics of attitude change. Such models are proposed, estimated, and evaluated here, using data from the University of Michigan Survey Research Center's 1956-58-60 panel study. These models corroborate the summary findings of previous investigators--that much apparent attitude change is actually response unreliability. More important, the models demonstrate differences in the stability and reliability of different attitude positions, as well as differences in the direction of change among these positions.
