Detailed explanation-1: -Reliability is an attribute of any computer-related component–software, hardware or a network, for example–that consistently performs according to its specifications. It has long been considered one of three related attributes that must be considered when making, buying or using a computer product or component.
Detailed explanation-2: -Reliability refers to the consistency of a measure. 1 A test is considered reliable if we get the same result repeatedly. For example, if a test is designed to measure a trait (such as introversion), then each time the test is administered to a subject, the results should be approximately the same.
Detailed explanation-3: -Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.
Detailed explanation-4: -Internal consistency reliability is important when researchers want to ensure that they have included a sufficient number of items to capture the concept adequately. If the concept is narrow, then just a few items might be sufficient.
