The results
indicate high internal consistency of the three CSI coping scales, implying that the CSI can be a valid instrument to assess the coping efforts of university students of Hong Kong.
The SDQ subscales obtained from the online administration
showed high internal consistency (polychoric ordinal alpha), and confirmatory factor analysis of the SDQ five factor model resulted in excellent fit.
The authors of the instrument report
high internal consistencies reliability with Cronbach alphas between.84 and.93 and test - retest reliabilities of.85 or better (Beavers & Hampson, 2000; Franklin et al., 2004).
Cronbach's alpha was found to be good for each of the factors, indicating high internal consistency [27](Shyness / Boldness 0.88, Sociability / Dogs 0.88, Amicability / Humans 0.87, Aggressiveness / Humans 0.82).
For example, the BITSEA scales include several behaviors that are low base rate in a community sample and thus may have
higher internal consistency in more symptomatic or delayed samples.
Good psychometric data exist for the use of the CES - D with adolescents,
including high internal consistency (over.87), and a stable factor structure when re-administered 1 month later (Roberts et al., 1990).
The six items of the modified index
showed high internal consistency (alphas > 0.90) and substantial test - retest reliability with a Pearson zero - order correlation of 0.65 across the two administrations (Nazarinia & White, 2010).
Across administrations the Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.91 to 0.94 for Canadian adolescents and 0.89 to 0.95 for Chinese adolescents which
indicates high internal consistency.
CES - D scores range from 0 to 60, with a score above 16 usually indicating depressive symptoms.27, 28 The CES - D has good sensitivity and specificity and
high internal consistency for identifying risk of depression.29
Conclusion: Due to
high internal consistencies as well as convincing criterion and construct validity the SSUK can be recommended for further use for chronic ill people.
This questionnaire is a valid generic measure that is used for rating health - related quality of life in several research fields because of its validity,
high internal consistency, and high test — retest reliability.
This tool has
high internal consistency, with alphas exceeding.89 for all ages (see Table 2).
A high internal consistency reliability coefficient of.92 was computed for the subject matter pretest.
It has demonstrated
high internal consistency (α > 0.85) and good convergent validity.
The Persian version of this test demonstrated very
high internal consistency (α = 0.92) and high test - retest reliability (r = 0.83)(Kaviani & Mousavi, 2008).
The SESBI - R and ECBI have been shown to have
high internal consistency for both Intensity (α = 0.98, α = 0.95) and Problem scales (α = 0.96, α = 0.93).54 Reliability coefficients at 12 - week intervals for SESBI - R and ECBI Intensity (r = 0.94 and r = 0.80) and Problem scales (r = 0.98 and r = 0.85) are also high.54 A reduction in score indicates fewer and / or less problematic disruptive behaviours.
The JW - DEQ version B was also found to have good concurrent validity with the HADS anxiety scale and
high internal consistency for the total scale.
The scale demonstrates high concurrent validity, a significant correlation with anxiety, depression and neuroticism [9][11], as well as
high internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.87)[1][9].
In our sample (N = 6113), the three subscales demonstrated
high internal consistency (α =.91,.90 and.89, respectively).
Splitting the Child Disclosure subscale, into Secrecy and Child Disclosure, led to
a higher internal consistency for each subscale (Secrecy and Child Disclosure)(Frijns et al. 2010).
The MAAS - A was shown to have
high internal consistency.
The SDQ seems to be a reliable and valid instrument given
its high internal consistency, clear factor structure and high correlation with other instruments capturing the intended constructs.
This seven - item inventory has
high internal consistency (α =.82) and is a good predictor of psychotic episodes.
The TEQ shows good test - retest reliability, strong construct validity, and
high internal consistency.
In the original study on the psychometric properties of the FIS,
high internal consistency was reported for all three subscales (Finley & Schwartz, 2004).
The investigation of psychometric properties of the adapted measurements indicate
high internal consistencies.
The results showed that the Hungarian version has the same three - factor structure as proposed by Penke and Asendorpf (2008), hence it is a reliable instrument which has three sub-scales of
high internal consistency.
The scale was found to be reliable and to have
a high internal consistency.
High internal consistency has been reported with Cronbach's alpha reported as.92 (Neff 2003),.91 (Krieger et al. 2013) and.96 (Werner et al. 2012).
