【问题描述】:
我有来自大约 260 名参与者完成的五项测量的数据,并估计了与 R 中的 psych 库的内部一致性。我得到的值为 -0.36(我对反向编码的问题进行了三次检查)。我的数据没有涵盖广泛的可能分数——由于我抽样的群体的性质——所以这是一个合理的数字。但是我使用的量表经过了很好的验证,诚然,alpha 的典型值较低,范围为 0.5--0.7。
在寻找评估数据的替代方法时,我使用了 psych::omega。这将返回 0.57 的 alpha 值以及我正在寻找的 omega 统计信息。这个 alpha 值更符合其他使用相关量表的文献。我还从我的研究中查看了其他经过验证的测量值,并且 psych::alpha 和 psych::omega 的 alpha 值是相等的。只有在这种已知内部一致性较低的特定度量上才会出现差异。
我的问题:为什么 psych::alpha 和 psych::omega 之间的 alpha 值不同?
下面的代码包含实际数据,并会针对负相关项目发出警告。我检查并重新检查了我的分数编码,它是正确的,所以我相信我们可以忽略这个警告。
