Accurate measurement of anger\/hostility and subsequent interpretation of results requires that the instruments yield strong psychometric properties. For consistent measurement, reliability estimates must be calculated with each administration, because changes in sample characteristics may alter the scale's ability to generate reliable scores. Therefore, the present study was designed to address reliability reporting practices for a widely used anger assessment, the Buss Durkee Hostility Inventory (BDHI). Of the 250 published articles reviewed, 11.2% calculated and presented reliability estimates for the data at hand, 6.8% cited estimates from a previous study, and 77.1% made no mention of score reliability. Mean alpha estimates of scores for BDHI subscales generally fell below acceptable standards. Additionally, no detectable pattern was found between reporting practices and publication year or journal prestige. Areas for future research are also discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0886260508314931","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,3,31]],"date-time":"2008-03-31T20:59:37Z","timestamp":1206997177000},"page":"20-37","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Reliability Reporting Across Studies Using the Buss Durkee Hostility Inventory"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Matt","family":"Vassar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Oklahoma State University,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"William","family":"Hale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oklahoma State University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"American Psychological Association and National Council of Measurement in Education.
