Pilot Study
To ensure instrument reliability a pilot study was administered on the UNT
campus to guarantee clarity of questions, ease of usage by the research participants,
manipulation of the Qualtrics software by the researcher, and test re-test reliability. The
pilot study was conducted at the College of Music, and participants were those whose
profiles resembled that of the survey population. A total of twelve participants (N = 12)
were recruited and asked to take the ACS online on two separate occasions for test re-
test reliability. The research participants were given five days to take the survey and
then asked to re-take the same survey again one week later.
Test retest reliability for each individual question ranged from r= -.171 to r=
1.000 with an average of r= .899 (p < .01). Four of the 40 questions were not reliable
at a significance level of at least 0.05 and were considered for revision. Two of the
remaining questions were reliable at a significance level of at least 0.05, and 34
questions were reliable at the 0.01 significance level. Each question and its
corresponding Pearson correlation is shown in Table 1.26
