This work comprises several research contributions on the development of new methods for assessing the stability of statistical data analyses as conducted in research and practice. Stability is an important prerequisite for drawing consistent conclusions from the results of statistical data analyses. This is only possible, however, if analyses based on slightly modified or on completely different data sets from the same data-generating process lead to comparable interpretations. Moreover, stability is a central property of many psychometric models for ensuring objective and fair comparisons between persons.
