agree  Anne Schulz: but add a translator's note that this should better read "raters" ;-) -- @Susan: All of these references on my Google's first result page are for "inter(-)rater variability, reliability, agreement" etc., that is, agreement etc between (inter) raters, IMHO

agree  Rolf Keiser: I tend to agree with Anne

agree  Susan Welsh: Googling for "interrater" and "psychology" yields 373,000 hits, so I don't think a footnote is needed. Those at the top of the list seem like solid sources to me.
