Reliability Analysis of PSS-10 Scale

A pilot study involving 5 respondents was conducted to assess the reliability of a questionnaire, yielding Cronbach Alpha values of 0.831 for knowledge items and 0.821 for practice items. These values indicate good internal consistency, confirming the reliability of the instrument items. The document references a rule of thumb for interpreting Cronbach's Alpha values.

4 Reliability

A pilot study has been done which accounts for 10% (5 respondents) of the

total sample who have been asked to answer the questionnaire. A reliability test was

run as soon as the data was collected. The value of Cronbach Alpha is shown in

Table 3.4 below.

Dimension Total Item
Alpha Value

Knowledge 10 0.831

Practice 10 0.821

Table 3.4 shows that Cronbach’s Alpha value for knowledge items is

0.831. Meanwhile, the Cronbach’s Alpha value for practice items is 0.821. According

to Table 3.5, the obtained Cronbach’s Alpha value shows good internal consistency.

This value proves that all the instrument items are reliable.

Cronbach’s Alpha Internal Consistency

α ≥ 0.9 Excellent
0.8 ≤ α < 0.9 Good
0.7 ≤ α < 0.8 Acceptable
0.6 ≤ α < 0.7 Questionable
0.5 ≤ α < 0.6 Poor
α < 0.6 Unacceptable
