Answering the Call for a Standard Reliability Measure for Coding Data

Andrew F. Hayes, Klaus Krippendorff · 1 Apr 2007

In content analysis and similar methods, data are typically generated by trained human observers who record or transcribe textual, pictorial, or audible matter in terms suitable for analysis. Conclusions from such data can be trusted only after demonstrating their reliability. Unfortunately, the content analysis literature is full of proposals for so-called reliability coefficients, leaving investigators…

Use Omega Rather than Cronbach’s Alpha for Estimating Reliability. But…

Andrew F. Hayes, Jacob J. Coutts · 2 Jan 2020

Cronbach’s alpha (α) is a widely-used measure of reliability used to quantify the amount of random measurement error that exists in a sum score or average generated by a multi-item measurement scale. Yet methodologists have warned that α is not an optimal measure of reliability relative to its more general form, McDonald’s omega (ω). Among…

Advantages of Monte Carlo Confidence Intervals for Indirect Effects

Kristopher J. Preacher, James P. Selig · 1 Apr 2012

Monte Carlo simulation is a useful but underutilized method of constructing confidence intervals for indirect effects in mediation analysis. The Monte Carlo confidence interval method has several distinct advantages over rival methods. Its performance is comparable to other widely accepted methods of interval construction, it can be used when only summary data are available, it…

Ten Steps in Scale Development and Reporting: A Guide for Researchers

Serena Carpenter · 22 Nov 2017

Scale development involves numerous theoretical, methodological, and statistical competencies. Despite the central role that scales play in our predictions, scholars often apply measurement building procedures that are inconsistent with best practices. The defaults in statistical programs, inadequate training, and numerous evaluation points can lead to improper practices. Based on a quantitative content analysis of communication…

Item Parceling in Structural Equation Modeling: A Primer

Masaki Matsunaga · 2 Dec 2008

This article provides a primer of the statistical technique called parceling, or aggregating items and using those aggregates as indicators of latent constructs, for structural equation modeling (SEM). First, two major types of parceling (subset-item-parcel and all-item-parcel approaches), alongside the traditional item-based approach, are illustrated. Second, both pros and cons of parceling are explicated. Parceling…
