To determine internal consistency of the UniLOA’s
individual scales, standardized Cronbach’s Alpha was selected.
Reported as a 0 to 1
scale, with zero representing items that contribute
no variance to one representing total possible
variance, social science often regards .7 as a
minimal alpha to suggest sufficient quality but
higher alpha’s are desirable. At .7, the standard error
of measurement is approximately .55 of a standard
deviation.
It should be noted that alpha increases as the
number of items increases. The UniLOA uses only 10
items per domain, yet each domain possess the
following alphas:
