    (0.35+0.42+0.25+0.21+0.31+0.38+0.36+0.41+0.46+0.31)= 3.46 (sum -> NO 1.0's!)
    3.46/10 (mean)= 0.346

      ​@@kia2663 I think you could use any statistical software to compute those correlations. In R, two options are Hmisc:: rcorr(as.matrix(df)) and GGally:: ggpairs(df)

    2:30 Aaaaaaand you've lost 95% of the audiences who were indeed looking for a "simple" explanation of this issue. Even assuming they are aware how to calculate corelation, how on earth do you expect them to know where you pulled all these figures out of?

    Hello, can you please explain how you got .346? Which numbers did you use to find the mean. I got a mean of .446 instead of .336. Please help! :) Thank you!

      I don't know whether this is the right way to calculate or not, but I got .346 by this way... (.35+.42+.25+.21+.31+.38+.36+.41+.46+.31)/10= 3.46/10= .346.

      @@nirobkothopokothon Ah, yes! You don't include the 1's because that's the correlation value between a variable and itself. Most statistical packages show the 1's but they're not correlations between 2 different variables.

    Hello. If the items are ordinal (e.g., a Likert scale) do you use Spearman correlation?

    • @how2stats
      @how2stats  9 років тому +3

      +Joseph Wehbe No. In such a case you should use polychoric correlations, which would give you ordinal Cronbach's alpha. SPSS doesn't do this analysis, unfortunately, but it can be done. Check out:
      Gadermann, A. M., Guhn, M., & Zumbo, B. D. (2012). Estimating ordinal reliability for Likert-type and ordinal item response data: A conceptual, empirical, and practical guide. Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation,17(3), 1-13.
      In practice, people just run Pearson correlations with Likert data for Cronbach's alpha. Doing so underestimates reliability, but it's better than Spearman correlations, in this context.

      Cronbach's alpha only provides an indication of test score reliability, not validity.

      divided by N which in this case is 10

    • @dda0426
      @dda0426 2 роки тому

      What @Richii said. To make it clearer, there are 10 coefficients (all the floating point values, which are the values with decimal points, except for the '1.0' values). So, take the sum of those coefficients and divide them by how many there are, which is 10. You can see what @Amanda Kalinowska did in the comments section to see it in action.
