    (0.35+0.42+0.25+0.21+0.31+0.38+0.36+0.41+0.46+0.31)= 3.46 (sum -> NO 1.0's!)
    3.46/10 (mean)= 0.346

      How did he calculate the correlation between item 1 and item 2 is 0.35?

      ​@@kia2663 I think you could use any statistical software to compute those correlations. In R, two options are Hmisc:: rcorr(as.matrix(df)) and GGally:: ggpairs(df)

    Does " the average correlation between the items mean the average of the items"?

    Hello, can you please explain how you got .346? Which numbers did you use to find the mean. I got a mean of .446 instead of .336. Please help! :) Thank you!

      I don't know whether this is the right way to calculate or not, but I got .346 by this way... (.35+.42+.25+.21+.31+.38+.36+.41+.46+.31)/10= 3.46/10= .346.

      @@nirobkothopokothon Ah, yes! You don't include the 1's because that's the correlation value between a variable and itself. Most statistical packages show the 1's but they're not correlations between 2 different variables.

      he added up all of the correlations (that aren't just something correlated with itself) then divided by the number of correlations.

    2:30 Aaaaaaand you've lost 95% of the audiences who were indeed looking for a "simple" explanation of this issue. Even assuming they are aware how to calculate corelation, how on earth do you expect them to know where you pulled all these figures out of?

      They are just random values that were input into the table to provide an example that would help demonstrate the Standard Cronbach Alpha's formula.

    Hello. If the items are ordinal (e.g., a Likert scale) do you use Spearman correlation?

    • @how2stats
      @how2stats  9 лет назад +3

      +Joseph Wehbe No. In such a case you should use polychoric correlations, which would give you ordinal Cronbach's alpha. SPSS doesn't do this analysis, unfortunately, but it can be done. Check out:
      Gadermann, A. M., Guhn, M., & Zumbo, B. D. (2012). Estimating ordinal reliability for Likert-type and ordinal item response data: A conceptual, empirical, and practical guide. Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation,17(3), 1-13.
      In practice, people just run Pearson correlations with Likert data for Cronbach's alpha. Doing so underestimates reliability, but it's better than Spearman correlations, in this context.

    • @how2stats

      Cronbach's alpha only provides an indication of test score reliability, not validity.

      divided by N which in this case is 10

    • @dda0426
      @dda0426 2 года назад

      What @Richii said. To make it clearer, there are 10 coefficients (all the floating point values, which are the values with decimal points, except for the '1.0' values). So, take the sum of those coefficients and divide them by how many there are, which is 10. You can see what @Amanda Kalinowska did in the comments section to see it in action.
