TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Inter-Rater Reliability of the Report Form for Aggressive Episodes JO - Journal of family violence A1 - Bj¯rkly, StÂl SP - 269 EP - 279 VL - 15 IS - 3 N2 - This paper reports on the inter-rater reliability of the Report Form for Aggressive Episodes (REFA). This rating scale is designed to measure displayed aggressive behavior and its situational determinant(s) according to a list of 30 potential precipitants of aggression. Findings from this study, where 48 raters assessed 10 clinical vignettes each by means of the REFA, show high levels of inter-rater agreement and reliability. Results also indicate that REFA items are homogenous in terms of how raters respond to them. (Abstract Adapted from Source: Journal of Family Violence, 2000.
