Alpha

2. There is a good, positive correlation between the six variables in the HC scale. The Cronbach Alpha is .769. From looking at the Inter-Item Correlation if I delete any variable the Cronbach Alpha will go down so there is no need to delete anything. The SE scale Cronbach Alpha was .686, after looking at the Inter-item Correlation chart all of the variables were positive but there were a few variable that were low. If I was to delete any variable the Cronbach Alpha would decrease. So the Cronbach Alpha is good for this scale. For the PNK scale the Cronbach Alpha was .804 which is relatively high. The values in the inter-item correlation matrix were higher than .2 and .4. Therefore, the Cronbach alpha looks great as to the quality in the inter-item correlation matrix is reliable. The "Cronbach's Alpha if Item Deleted" is blank because there are just two variables and on if I delete one of them there will be no Cronbach alpha. In the CR scale the Cronbach Alpha was .794 which is good but there are only two variable so I looked at the Inter-item correlation and both variable were positive. The Cronbach Alpha for PHB was .791, there were several variable I could delete to increase the Cronbach Alpha such as the “regular dentist visit or always get enough sleep and rest.” I had several variable in the Inter-item Correlation that…

Alpha 1-Antitrypsin Deficiency Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is caused by mutations in the serpina1 gene on chromosome 14. The serpina1 gene codes for the Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) enzyme which is a protein that protects the lungs, and is made in the liver.This deficiency occurs when there is a lack of a protein in the blood called alpha-1 antitrypsin. Without the protection of this protein, the lungs are more sepetable to be attacked by neutrophil elastase. Neutrophil elastase is an enzyme…

Introduction I am a member of a Kappa Alpha Theta at Chapman University, and have recently considered running for a position. With the new slate of officers changing, positions were opening up once again and surprised as I was many of my peers encouraged me to run for a position.

This bond that the soldiers formed helped them to survive, and helped the men of Alpha Company to cope with the war after they returned to the United States. "The bond that men form with each other in the heat of battle is incomprehensible to those who have not experienced warfare for themselves...You make close friends. You become part of a tribe and you share the same blood - you give it together, you take it together." (O'Brien, 192) This bond of friendship helps the men of Alpha…

The majority of the men I…

Alpha Males: Natural Born Leaders There are several movie characters that hold great standing, but then, they are fewer characters that possess a reputation that is erected on just moments that would reflect on how I feel about myself; Robert DeNiro is that person whose on-screen body language makes him a natural born leader, and the mannerisms help to boost his alpha male persona, which propels his characters to another level. Furthermore, he captures the personalities that he is projecting,…
