   Question

   

   Above is the correlation matrix of a number of items that all measure attitude toward reading. Respondents had to indicate for each item whether they completely disagreed, disagreed, agreed, or completely agreed.

   The Cronbach’s alpha of this scale based on these items is low, .097. What is the next step in constructing a scale from these items?

   
   
   1. FALSE: Omit item g51k and analyze the reliability of the scale with the remaining four items
   2. TRUE: Recode item g51k
   3. FALSE: Directly construct a scale from all five items
   4. FALSE: Directly construct a scale from items g51a, g51b, g51l, g51w
   
   
   1. False
   2. True
   3. False
   4. False
