Qualitative Coursework- Method and Analysis sections of an IPA Report
What is the name of the variable which records year of data collection (2018 and 2022)?
Age and Gender are variables reported in which section of the poster?
Identify for yourself and write down which items make up the
germ aversion subscale
perceived infectibility subscale
the 6 images of hand washing pictures
Open any one of the values cells for a PVD item. How many scale points are there …1, 3, 5 or 7? Would a low scale score indicate more agreement or more disagreement with the statement?How many participants overall?
How many in each year? In which year are there more participants?
What is the gender breakdown? Are the proportions of each balanced?
What are the age ranges? Which is the majority age range?
From the output, identify and interpret the scale’s Chronbach’s Alpha [see 5 and 6 below and the relevant chapter in Field or Pallant stats books]
Repeat entire procedure for the remaining PI subscale using
PVD_2 PVD_5 PVD_6 PVD_8 PVD_10 PVD_12 PVD_14
Finally Repeat entire procedure using all 15 PVD items to obtain Chronbach’s alpha for the entire scale.
Reliability: Internal Consistency
What is an acceptable value of Chronbach’s alpha?
i. Less than 0.7 = weak internal consistency
ii. 0.7 = acceptable
iii. 0.8 = good
iv. 0.9 = excellent
v. 1 = perfect
