Coefficient Alpha and Composite Reliability With Interrelated Nonhomogeneous Items
Abstract
The relationship between Cronbach's coefficient alpha (a) and the reliability of a composite of a prespecified set of interrelated nonhomogeneous components is examined. It is shown that a can over- or underestimate scale reliability at the population level. The bias is expressed in terms of structural parameters and illustrated on simulated data. The relevance of substantive considerations about, and examination of, the latent structure of an item set prior to estimation of composite reliability using at is emphasized and demonstrated using a structural equation modeling approach.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
