But Zurn shook off the concerns, adding that the cuts wouldn't compromise reliability.
The time required to complete such a fine-grained assessment can compromise reliability by contributing to rater response burden.
However, the results are based on the self-reported practices, and not from audit, which may compromise reliability.
Little work has been done to investigate the suggestion that the use of selected scales from a multi-scale health-status questionnaire would compromise reliability and validity.
However, excluding certain scales has been discouraged by the questionnaire's developers on the basis that it might compromise reliability [ 1].
These controversial results could perhaps be ascribed to the lack of standardization of the pre-analytical phase related to the serum separation time and the clotting temperature, which can influence platelet activation and, consequently, compromise reliability and reproducibility of the determinations [ 15, 17- 19].
Recent applications of the 'think-aloud' method have highlighted its sensitivity to problems specific to the measures under study, such as misinterpretations and inconsistencies between respondents' interpretations and their recorded responses, which may compromise reliability and validity (Darker & French, 2009; French et al., 2007; Kaklamanou, Armitage, & Jones, 2013).
However, our competitiveness was compromised by reliability problems and mistakes.
The team's preparations have been badly compromised by reliability problems and another arose with a new part designed to fix an earlier failure.
Therefore, a principal component analysis was performed to reduce the number of correlated variables, yet the limited sample size adequacy compromised the reliability of this test.
