Testing the Equality of Two Independent Alpha Coefficients Adjusted by the Spearman-Brown Formula.

Alsawalmeh, Yousef M.; Feldt, Leonard S.

Applied Psychological Measurement, v23 n4 p363-70 Dec 1999

Developed an approximate statistical test for the hypothesis of equality between the Spearman-Brown extrapolations of two independent values of Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that the procedure effectively controls Type I error. (SLD)
