A simple structure, multidimensional model may be used to evaluate the items, ignoring the cross-loading of some items on the secondary dimension. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of structure complexity magnitude of…

Unlike a substantial part of reliability literature in the past, this article is concerned with weighted combinations of a given set of congeneric measures with uncorrelated errors. The relationship between maximal coefficient alpha and maximal reliability for such composites is initially dealt with, and it is shown that the former is a lower…
