Interpretation:
This table shows that item 4 is problematic since the r-value (encircled in red) is consistently low thus the
removal of the question should be considered.

Interpretation:
This table shows the two important columns, the Corrected item -Total correlation and Cronbach’s Alpha if
the item is deleted. This implied that deletion of item 4 will result on the increase of Cronbach’s alpha to
α=0.83.
Overall Interpretation
A questionnaire was answered by 100 participants and the agreeableness subscale on perceived task value
consisting of 8 items was found to be reliable (α = .81). The Cronbach’s alpha showed that most items can be
retained. However, the removal of item 4 should be considered to increase the alpha to α=0.83.
