4.1.3 Descriptive statistics
4.1.3.1 Brand and service trust (TRU)
Among 5 items of Brand and service trust dimension that mean value are between 3.06 and 4.03. Besides, this value is not so different among TRU1-prestigious enterprises, TRU2-famous author and TRU4-copyright from 3.654 of the average mean value. Three items are appreciated in user’s mind. The mean value of TRU3-high quality is on somewhat “neutral” (3.06), it means that users are not interesting in this factor. The standard deviation of TRU1, TRU2 and TRU4 are in the interval of 0.809 and 0.843 which demonstrates that respondents have similar perception about the items. However, standard deviation of TRU3 is rather high with 1.019 which reflects that the respondents’ opinions

While Corrected Item-Total Correlation of TRU1, TRU2 and TRU4 are between 0.571 and 0.635; which meet the standard of greater than 0.5. In addition, Cronbach's alpha if Item Deleted of these items also satisfy standard of less than overall Cronbach's alpha (0.689). On the contrary, the Corrected Item-Total Correlation of TRU3 is relative low (0.178) which indicates it do not measure the same thing the rest TRU. It might lead us to remove this item. Actually, removal of TRU3 leads a significant improvement in Cronbach's alpha which increases the overall total from 0.689 to 0.827. It appears to be useful and contributes to the overall reliability of TRU. Hence, after screening, the measurement items in TRU are still maintained from 4 to 3 items: TRUi (i=1, 2, 4) and the correlation among these items is rather high (0.676; 0.715 and 0.664, respectively). It indicates that there is a positive correlation between one item and the rest of TRU (see in Table …show more content…
The overall reliability coefficient of each dimension is between 0.827 and 0.901, which is very high and indicates strong internal consistency among items of each dimension. Essentially, this means that respondents who tended to select high or low scores for one item also tended to select high or low scores for the others (as in Descriptive analysis all items get high scores). Therefore, knowing the score for one item would enable to predict with some accuracy the possible scores for the other items. Furthermore, the item-to-total correlation coefficient of the appropriate items after screening in each dimension was between 0.627 and 0.840, which also met the standard of greater than 0.5. These results indicate that the reliability of all dimensions attained an excellent degree of consistency. Consequently, we have screened from 32 to 24 items of independent variables and 4 to 3 items of dependent

    There are 22 non-overlapping scales that contain four validity scales, eleven clinical scales, five treatment scales, and two interpersonal scales (ten scales are further divided into thirty-one abstractly distinct subscales). Most of the scales consist of 8, 12, or 24 items with a standard reading on the fourth grade level, which makes it easy for most adults to understand and comprehend. The validity scale measures Inconsistency, Infrequency, Negative Impression, and Positive Impression responses. Raw scores are plotted on the Profile Forms, yielding T scores (M-50, SD-10).…

    Scoring of the 15FQ+ varies depending on whether the questionnaire is computer administered or in a pencil and paper format (reference). If the questionnaire is administered online via the computer, the test is then automatically profiled and scored by the system (reference). However, if the questionnaire is administered in the pencil and paper format, there are two methods for scoring the test; computerised scoring and hand scoring (reference). For test users making use of the computer-based questionnaire, there are a further two options available for scoring the test. The first option is that item data is entered on the correct screen, and alternatively, computer-readable answer sheets can be scanned and scored automatically (reference).…

    However, no significant improvement in the Cronbach’s alpha was present after deletion of each item. This may be a result of low number of items included in these dimensions. Furthermore, small alpha coefficients may be due to small sample size, the high homogeneity of patients, and small variation of the scores (35). It seems that the reliability of the scale could be enhanced by increases in the sample size and the number of items in some dimensions as reported by Tan et al. (36) and Leung et al.…

    Introduction Surveying patients after they are discharged from the hospital can be a valuable tool leaders at a facility can use to determine areas of strengths and areas of weakness. In order to improve quality of care and improve patient satisfaction the well-known HCAHPs scores are the current industry-standard by which in-patient hospitals measure. Beryl is another well-known survey used after discharge, typically 48-72 hours after discharge, which can actually influence HCAHPs scores. This telephone survey affected one hospitals “overall rating” score to increase 12 percentage points (Beryl health, 2011). The director for Beryl, Cynthia Hanna, RN expressed the importance of capturing data immediately after discharge to understand patient…

    Traditional Methods of Validity vs. the Process-Focused Model Amy Wilhelm Kaplan University PS505: Testing, Measurement and Assessment Dr. Raymond Brogan December 16, 2014 Traditional Methods of Validity vs. the Process-Focused Model Testing and assessments are used continuously in many areas of clinical psychology. The testing instrument needs to be considered reliable and valid. Cohen, Swerdlik and Struman (2013) define validity as being the estimate of how well the test measures what it is supposed to measure (p. 181).…

    Dr. L, Finding the right instrument to measure the variables being studied is very important. In fact, the instruments determine the quality of the research. There are two parameters used to assess the quality of an instrument and they are reliability and validity. Reliability is the ability of the instrument to measure a variable and obtain consistent and stable results when applied to similar conditions.…

    Compare and contrast the PF and the traditional models of validity The meaning and definition of validity has evolved from the review of Meehl’s classic (1995), although validity research emphasizes on assessing the relationship between predictor and criterion where in most cases the criterion becomes the self report. There are two models of validity which include the process-focused (PF) model and the traditional validity model. In the two models, they both test for the relationship between test score and criterion as well as the researchers will improve psychology’s assessment procedures. Assessment is a common change to the two models which is experienced by psychology in the diverse subfields.…

    However, even though this is the population from which a sample was taken for the research, it may be assumed that ultimately the goal of the study is to define the population as all workers in Taiwan, for purposes of extrapolation of the data. Additionally, only respondents holding a full-time job were selected for the analysis in order to highlight the potential effects of work/family conflict (Lu et al., 2011). Description of Data and Descriptive Statistics A wide variety of data was collected for this article, some of which are discrete variables, such as Sex, Marital status, Rank, and Working spouse. All of these were given a score based on a nominal scale, and were then categorized accordingly (e.g. Sex is 1 = male, 2 = female or Rank is 1 = managers, 2 = employees).…
