   Question

   We perform a reliability analysis with six statements measuring job satisfaction. For these six indicators, the possible answers range from 1 (‘totally disagree’) to 5 (‘totally agree’). We combine all indicators into one scale. The reliability analysis of the six statements shows that the Cronbach’s alpha of this scale is 0.90.

   What is the correct interpretation of this result? This measurement of a person’s job satisfaction …

   
   
   1. FALSE: is a valid measurement for 90% of the respondents.
   2. TRUE: is intern consistent.
   3. FALSE: will contain the actual population parameter in 90% of the cases.
   4. FALSE: shows that 90% of the respondents have a high level of job satisfaction.
