Warriner, Shore, Schmidt, Imbault, and Kuperman, Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology, 71; 71-88 (2017) have recently proposed a slider task in which participants move a manikin on a computer screen toward or further away from a word, and the distance (in pixels) is a measure of the word's valence. Warriner, Shore, Schmidt, Imbault, and Kuperman, Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology, 71; 71-88 (2017) showed this task to be more valid than the widely used rating task, but they did not examine the reliability of the new methodology. In this study we investigated multiple aspects of this task's reliability. In Experiment 1 (Exps. 1.1-1.6), we showed that the sliding scale has high split-half reliability (r = .868 to .931). In Experiment 2, we also showed that the slider task elicits consistent repeated responses both within a single session (Exp. 2: r = .804) and across two sessions separated by one week (Exp. 3: r = .754). Overall, the slider task, in addition to having high validity, is highly reliable.
Warriner、Shore、Schmidt、Imbault 和 Kuperman 在《加拿大实验心理学杂志》（2017 年，第 71 卷，第 71-88 页）中最近提出了一种滑块任务，参与者在计算机屏幕上移动一个人体模型，使其靠近或远离一个单词，而距离（以像素为单位）是单词的效价的衡量标准。Warriner、Shore、Schmidt、Imbault 和 Kuperman 表明，这项任务比广泛使用的评分任务更有效，但他们没有检验新方法的可靠性。在这项研究中，我们研究了这项任务可靠性的多个方面。在实验 1（实验 1.1-1.6）中，我们表明滑动刻度具有很高的半分可靠性（r =.868 到.931）。在实验 2 中，我们还表明，滑块任务在单个会话内（实验 2：r =.804）和两个会话之间（实验 3：r =.754）产生一致的重复响应。总体而言，滑块任务除了具有高有效性外，还具有高度可靠性。
