Peer ratings: the impact of purpose on rating quality and user acceptance
Article Abstract:
Peer rating as affected by evaluative and developmental effects of purpose is tested using a quasi-experimental model. Developmental peer ratings showed greater differentiation, greater validity, and higher reliability than the evaluative form. Developmental conditions also gave a more favorable measurement of user acceptance based on future use recommendations. Such observations suggest a greater usefulness of peer reviews for developmental rather than evaluative concerns. Rating contexts exerted a strong influence on peer rating quality and user acceptance. In the context of organizational settings, peer ratings can be an important source of developmental information, consequently caution should be exerted in applying peer review for evaluative intentions.
