E.g. a spatial analysis of the entire United States might be considered a large-scale one, while a study on a city has a relatively small scale.
Reliability is the extent to which a scale will produce consistent results. Test-retest reliability checks how similar the results are if the research is repeated under similar circumstances. Alternative forms reliability checks how similar the results are if the research is repeated using different forms of the scale.
