We use Cronbach's alpha to evaluate the unidimensionality the alpha coefficient will be Coefficient alpha and the internal structure of tests. Coefficient Alpha and the Internal Structure of Tests Tests divisible into distinct subtests should be so divided before using the formula. The index \(\bar rij \), derived from, is shown to be an index of interitem homogeneity. Comparison is made to the Guttman and Loevinger approaches. Parallel split coefficients are. Research design can be daunting for all types of researchers. At its heart it might be described as a formalized approach toward problem solving, thinking, a On Sep 1, 1951 Lee J.

Klaas SijtsmaTilburg University, The Netherlands. Email: By far the most cited article in Psychometrika is Lee Cronbachs famous study of coefficient alpha. Cronbach's alpha will generally increase as the intercorrelations among test items increase, and is thus known as an internal consistency estimate of reliability of
