Reliability Coefficient: Internal Consistency
For the reliability analysis of the Deenz Multidimensional Schizoid Personality Scale (DMSPS-28), Cronbach's alpha was employed to assess the internal consistency of the scale across its facets. The following table presents the Cronbach's alpha coefficients for each facet:
Facet | Cronbach's Alpha |
---|
Social Detachment | 0.84 |
Anhedonia | 0.79 |
Blunted Affect | 0.81 |
Solitude | 0.73 |
Friendlessness | 0.78 |
Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranging from 0.70 to 0.95 are generally considered acceptable for research purposes, indicating satisfactory internal consistency reliability. In this study, all facets of the DMSPS-28 demonstrated good reliability, with alpha coefficients ranging from 0.73 to 0.84, suggesting that the items within each facet are strongly correlated with each other.
