Ordinal Versions of Coefficients Alpha and Theta for Likert Rating Scales

Abstract: Two new reliability indices, ordinal coefficient alpha and ordinal coefficient theta, are introduced. A simulation study was conducted in order to compare the new ordinal reliability estimates to each other and to coefficient alpha with Likert data. Results indicate that ordinal coefficients alpha and theta are consistently suitable estimates of the theoretical reliability, regardless of the magnitude of the theoretical reliability, the number of scale points, and the skewness of the scale point distributions.… Show more

“…Internal consistency was evaluated using the ordinal version of Cronbach's alpha, called ordinal reliability alpha (Zumbo et al, 2007), and by estimating the item-to-factor polychoric correlation coefficient, which is the correlation coefficient between the item and its factor with the item removed. Concurrent validity was evaluated using -Khalek, 1998;Al-Musawi, 2001;Al-Turkait and Ohaeri, 2010) and the CES-D (Ghubash et al, 2000;Kazarian and Taher, 2010) were not selected because they have been validated in college students and community samples, not in clinical populations.…”

“…Asimismo, la correlación entre los contenidos de intimidad e infidelidad con la pareja fue positiva tanto en la muestra conjunta (r S = 0,09, p = 0,06; correlación policórica [pcc] = 0,13, p < 0,01), como en la de mujeres (r S = 0,13, p = 0,07, pcc = 0,19; p < 0,01), y en la de hombres (r S = 0,04, p = 0,52, pcc = 0,08, p = 0,26). Esta correlación positiva no fue significativa en ninguna de las tres muestras al ser estimada por el coeficiente de correlación de rangos ordenados de Spearman, pero sí fue significativa en la muestra conjunta y en la de mujeres al ser estimada por el coeficiente de correlación policórica, el cual se considera que proporciona como estimación más exacta de la verdadera relación entre dos variables ordinales (Zumbo, Gadermann y Zeisser, 2007). Por lo tanto, tener más fantasías románticas con la pareja no implicó tener menos fantasías de serle infiel entre los participantes de este estudio, sino que ambos contenidos resultaron independientes entre los participantes masculinos y mostraron una tendencia muy débil a coexistir entre las participantes femeninas.…”

“…Essas informações, juntamente com um resumo de características de cada fator e ordinal coefficient alpha (Zumbo, Gadermann, & Zeisser, 2007), estão apresentadas na Tabela 4. Os fatores encontrados corroboram resultados obtidos por Odelius e colaboradores (Odelius et al, 2011;Odelius & Sena, 2009) e são semelhantes aos de outros estudos, como discutido a seguir.…”
