A hierarchical model of leisure constraints

Duane W. Crawford, Edgar L. Jackson, Geoffrey Godbey · 1 Jan 1991

Daniel R. Williams, Michael E. Patterson, Joseph W. Roggenbuck et al. · 1 Jan 1992

Salient behavioral, normative, and control beliefs, theoretically the basic determinants of behavior, were assessed with respect to five leisure activities: spending time at the beach, jogging or running, mountain climbing, boating, and biking. College students…

Rethinking Internal Consistency in Cronbach's Alpha

Jerry J. Vaske, Jay Beaman, Carly C. Sponarski · 6 May 2016

Cronbach's alpha estimates the internal consistency of responses in multi-item bipolar scales. This article examined three research questions (RQ): (1) To what extent do inconsistencies exist in data (e.g., responses of −2 −2 2 2)? (2) Does the number of scale items influence the amount of inconsistency? (3) Does Cronbach's alpha mask inconsistencies? Data were…
