Reliability Analysis

The document presents reliability statistics for two measures assessing internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha. The first measure, with 17 items, shows a moderate to high Cronbach's alpha of 0.740, indicating satisfactory reliability, while the second measure with 5 items reveals issues with negative covariance and low reliability scores. Overall, the analysis concludes that both scales demonstrate internal consistency, although further validation may be necessary for the second measure.

Reliability Statistics

Cronbach's Alpha Based on


Cronbach's Alpha Standardized Items N of Items

.740 .734 17

The table presents reliability statistics for a measure consisting of 17 items, assessing internal
consistency using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The Cronbach's alpha value of 0.740 suggests a
moderate to high level of internal consistency among the items, indicating that they measure a single
underlying construct reasonably well. Similarly, the Cronbach's alpha based on standardized items is
0.734, indicating consistent reliability even after standardization. These findings imply that the measure
demonstrates satisfactory reliability, supporting its use in research or assessment contexts where a
reliable measure of the underlying construct is necessary. However, it's crucial to interpret these results
in conjunction with the specific objectives and characteristics of the study, as well as considering
potential modifications or further validation if required.

Reliability Statistics

Cronbach's Alpha Part 1 Value .237

N of Items 3a

Part 2 Value -.156b

N of Items 2c

Total N of Items 5
Correlation Between Forms .083
Spearman-Brown Coefficient Equal Length .153
Unequal Length .156
Guttman Split-Half Coefficient .152

a. The items are: 1- Have you ever taken a vitamin D level test?, 2- Have you been exposed to sunlight (tan) in the
past 12 months?, 3- Do you use sunscreen?.
b. The value is negative due to a negative average covariance among items. This violates reliability model
assumptions. You may want to check item codings.
c. The items are: 3- Do you use sunscreen?, 4- Do you take multivitamin pills?, 5- How much exposure to sunlight
did you have in the past week?.

It is evident from the analysis above that the both halves bears positive correlation (r=.153). This
shows a positive sign of the correlation analysis. The positive sign suggest that there is high
correlation coefficient in between the two half of items.

Conclusion

Based on the analysis above, it can be stated that both the scales are internally consisted and reliable.
