    Cronbach's alpha is an index used to assess the internal consistency and reliability of scale items on a questionnaire. It measures how closely related a set of items are as a group by determining the average inter-item correlation. Generally, a Cronbach's alpha score of 0.70 or higher indicates good internal consistency among the items in measuring an underlying construct and that the scale is unidimensional.

    Cronbachs alpha

    assessing scale reliability

    Cronbachs alpha

    Cronbach's alpha is an index of reliability associated with the variation accounted for by the true score of the "underlying construct." Allows a researcher to measure the internal consistency of scale items, based on the average inter-item correlation

    Indicates the extent to which the items in your questionnaire are related to each other Indicates whether a scale is unidimensional or multidimensional

    Interpreting scale reliability

    The higher the score, the more reliable the generated scale is A score of .70 or greater is generally considered to be acceptable
    .90 or > = high reliability .80-.89 = good reliability .70-79 = acceptable reliability .65-.69 = marginal reliability

    lower thresholds are sometimes used in the literature.
