Meta‐Analysis of Coefficient Alpha: A Reliability Generalization Study

Abstract: Increasing precision of measurement is a goal of scientific advancement, but Nunnally's (1978) .70 benchmark for coefficient alpha (alpha) has remained the omnibus test for reliability for nearly 40 years. This likely arises due to there only being scattered empirical evidence of the degree to which the field has met or surpassed this standard. Using metaanalytic techniques known as reliability generalization (RG), we cumulate alphas across 36 commonly used individual differences, attitudes, and behaviours fro… Show more

“…However, for the sake of interpretability both Bonett-transformed (denoted as α B ) and backtransformed estimates (denoted as α) are reported for each model. When moderators were ERN RELIABILITY GENERALIZATION 13 included in the model, the back-transformed estimates represent the summation of the intercept and moderator effect, again for the sake of interpretability (see Greco, O'Boyle, Cockburn, & Yuan, 2017;Piqueras, Martín-Vivar, Sandin, San Luis, & Pineda, 2017;Vicent, Rubio-Aparicio, Sánchez-Meca, & Gonzálvez, 2019).…”

“…Similarly, methods sections tend to report certain statistics, such as fit indices for measurement models and coefficient alphas, to indicate the degree of measurement error. Authors may present, and reviewers may demand statistics that surpass arbitrary thresholds (Greco, O'Boyle, Cockburn, & Yuan, 2018;Williams, O'Boyle, & Yu, 2017). These hurdles in the review process put much weight on specific theoretical and methodological issues and may result in reviewers losing sight of other important features of a manuscript.…”

“…Bir ölçeğin güvenirliği, bir değişkenin gerçek değerinin ölçme araçları ile doğru ve tam olarak ölçülebilme derecesidir. Güvenirlik, ölçme aracının ölçmeyi amaçladığı özelliğin ya da özelliklerin ne kadar kararlılıkla ölçülmekte olduğunun göstergesidir (25,(33)(34)(35)(36)(37). Ölçme aracı geliştirmede güvenirlik sınanırken ölçeğin tutarlı, duyarlı ve kararlılık sağlanması gerekir.…”

“…Ölçeğin duyarlılığı ise ölçek veya sonuçlarının biriminin büyüklüğü ile ilgilidir. Birim aralığı küçükse ölçme daha duyarlıdır (24,26,35). Bu araştırmada ölçek güvenilirliğinin test edilmesinde alfa katsayısı ve iç tutarlıktan yararlanılmıştır.…”
