• In alpha(DATASET) : Some items were negatively correlated with the tota

    From Priya Saivasan@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 2 20:55:55 2021
    Hello, were you able to sort this out? I had reverse coded the questions before importing and when I ran the function, it insisted on running the functions again with 'check.keys=TRUE'.

    I did as I was told and the alpha turned out significantly better. Now how do I perform the other tests. can anyone please guide. Do I need to reverse code the ones that the function has pointed out during cronbach alpha?

    Any help is much appreciated!!

    Priya,
    Were you intenting to post this to comp.soft-sys.stat.spss or
    was that an accident?

    You apparently refer to an earlier post, but there is none linked
    in the header information, and this group hasn't had a recent
    message on the topic.

    Plus, about SPSS -- If SPSS has some use of 'check.keys=TRUE'
    it is not something I remember. And it does not sound to me
    like it would be a part of RELIABILITY.
