Abstract

ARANA, Javier; LAPRESA, Daniel; ANGUERA, M. Teresa  and  GARZON, Belén. Ad hoc procedure for optimising agreement between observational records. Anal. Psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.32, n.2, pp.589-595. ISSN 1695-2294.  https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/analesps.32.2.213551.

Observational studies in the field of sport are complicated by the added difficulty of having to analyse multiple, complex events or behaviours that may last just a fraction of a second. In this study, we analyse three aspects related to the reliability of data collected in such a study. The first aim was to analyse and compare the reliability of data sets assessed quantitatively (calculation of kappa statistic) and qualitatively (consensus agreement method). The second aim was to describe how, by ensuring the alignment of events, we calculated the kappa statistic for the order parameter using SDIS-GSEQ software (version 5.1) for data sets containing different numbers of sequences. The third objective was to describe a new consultative procedure designed to remove the confusion generated by discordant data sets and improve the reliability of the data. The procedure is called "consultative" because it involves the participation of a new observer who is responsible for consulting the existing observations and deciding on the definitive result.

Keywords : Observational methodology; reliability; agreement; Cohen's kappa; consultative procedure; Metodología observacional; fiabilidad; concordancia; kappa de Cohen; procedimiento consultivo.
