    (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

      ​@@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)

    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.

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

    • @how2stats
      @how2stats  8 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.

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

      divided by N which in this case is 10

    • @dda0426
      @dda0426 Год 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.
