    Question

    For his thesis research, a graduate student measured the degree of self-confidence of students with a scale consisting of 6 items ranging from 1 (low self-confidence) to 10 (high self-confidence). The Cronbach’s alpha of this scale is 0.74.

    The Cronbach’s alpha could be increased by:

    I.             Adding another item to the scale.
    II.            Removing an item with a low corrected item-total correlation.
    III.           Remove from the scale an item with a value of 0.79 in “Cronbach’s alpha if item deleted”.


    1. TRUE: I, II and III are true.
    2. FALSE: I is true
    3. FALSE: III is true.
    4. FALSE: II is true

    1. True
    2. False
    3. False
    4. False
