Cronbach's alpha

This survey was developed to investigate the public opinion of American Sign Language (ASL) as a true language. Because ASL is not a spoken language, the public may be inclined to believe that it is not a true language. Understanding public opinions of ASL as a true language is important when considering community access for individuals who use ASL. Additionally, for individuals who use ASL to feel more comfortable communicating, it is essential to understand how the public views ASL and whether…

According to Tavakol & Dennick, (2011) The Cronbach’s alpha test should be conducted before the scale is presented for research purposes and each time the scale is changed, internal consistency should be retested. This is the practice that the present study will follow. 4 Factorial validity is defined…

5.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter discussing the results from the chapter 4 and the relationships of independent and dependent variables for this study. In previous chapters the relationship of the variables has been discussed in numerical data, meanwhile for this chapter will discuss the supportive reason of the relationship. There are three independent variables in this study which are the attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control and one dependent variable which is purchase…

The statistical base that was used to conclude and hypothesize the relationships between the studied variables relied mainly on cross-sectional studies and regression/bivariate correlations. The regression model has some disadvantages; in it, each independent variable is tested while adjusting for other independent variables, and there can be only one outcome. For this reason, it is difficult to estimate the direct and indirect effects on the outcome. Also, most of existing studies were…

A geriatric social worker develops a very lengthy scale to assess the degree of staff sensitivity to the needs of residents in nursing homes. This scale is designed to be completed by both staff and residents. According to Rubin & Babbie (2016), this scale may be vulnerable to common sources of systematic and random error. As discussed by Rubin & Babbie (2016), sources of systematic error in measurement scales originate from biases during data collection in which a pattern emerges indicating…

Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving and is the biggest shopping day of the year. There are many explanations as to how Black Friday got its name. At one time people believed it was derived from slavery with the Friday after Thanksgiving being the day the slaves were sold. But the origins of the biggest shopping day of the year goes to the city of Philadelphia. The term “Black Friday” was originally created by employees of businesses calling off sick for a long holiday weekend.…

that is used to measure the internal reliability of an instrument is called the Cronbach’s alpha. Burns and Grove (2009:379) and Pietersen and Maree (2012:216) suggested that a reliable estimate of ≥0.80 are regarded as acceptable by researchers. Table 3.2 indicates the reliability with regards to the research, which indicates that the results can be seen as reliable. Table 4.2 Reliability statistics Cronbach’s Alpha N of items…

H1: There is a significant relationship between initiating structure and job satisfaction. Referring to last Table, Hypothesis 1 is rejected because result shows that there is no significant relationship between initiating structure and job satisfaction. The Beta value for initiating structure in last Table is 0.095, indicating that initiating structure has little influence over job satisfaction. As according to Hair et al. (2006), the bigger the Beta value, the higher the influential factor by…

of the literature, professional reviews, and pilot trials. This assessment tool was evaluated eleven experts in the professional critiques and a context validity index of 0.97 was achieved. The internal consistency revealed that cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.90, alpha coefficient for the subscales from 0.63 to 0.88, and total variance was determined at 58.4 %. The concept of Diabetic control is measured by biochemical indicators such as blood pressure measurements, laboratory testing of…

TITLE: What will improve undergraduate nursing student interest to seek career in mental health. A quasi experimental study. Abstract/Significant of the study. Undergraduate nurses form a pool from which upon graduation, nurses are drawn to the different career pathways of nursing practice, ensuring a sustained supply of competent nursing staffs here in Australia and other western developed countries. The failure of mental health nursing to draw a reasonable number of new nursing graduates…
