Coefficient alpha by dimension

Cronbach's alpha is often used to measure the reliability of a single dimension. From our EFA, we have determined that items 1-3, 4-6 and 7-8 of brand_rep_8 are dimensions "Product Quality", "Willingness to Pay" and "Product Differentiation," respectively. Let's get the standardized alpha for each using psych and dplyr, which have been loaded into your environment.

  • Print the column names of brand_rep_8 to aid in creation of the new data frames.
  • Create new data frames p_quality, p_willingness and p_different each containing that dimension's respective items.
  • Check the standardized alpha for each dimension and compare to the standardized alpha of the survey as a whole.
