Re: checking for differences between independent ICCs

Sorry...I should have been more clear. :-)

My data file looks like this:

ID/case   mygender      friend's gender  my score  friend's score
1               f       f               10              11
2               f       f               12              13
3               m       m               9               10
4               m       m               5               8
...

Essentially, I have pairs of same-sex friendship dyads, and I am looking
at the association between individual scores and their best friend's
scores. I can't use Pearson correlations, because individuals could
initially be in either column (as an individual or a friend), hence the
intra class correlations. I have already removed doubles from the data,
and split my data file by gender, so I end up with intra-class
correlations for female dyads (say, .27) and male dyads (say, .15). I want
to test if there is a significant difference between these "correlations".
Should Fisher's transformation work for ICC as it would for Pearson's r?

Any help would be appreciated!
