The word anatomy comes from the Greek ana-meaning up or through + tome meaning a cutting. Anatomy was once a cutting up because the structure of the body was originally learned through dissecting it. The word histology came from the Greek histo- meaning tissue + logos, treatise.
Definition: Reliability is the degree to which a measurement instrument gives the same results each time that it is used, assuming that the underlying thing being measured does not change.
To have confidence in a measure such as this, we need to test its reliability: the degree to which it is error-free. The type of reliability we'll be examining here is called internal consistency reliability: the degree to which multiple measures of the same thing agree with one another. Benevolent Sexism Scale Peter Glick and Susan Fiske (1996) developed an interesting measure called the Benevolent Sexism Scale (BSS).
