Shrnutí	Robust McDonald's omega estimates the internal consistency reliability of a composite scale using factor-analytic loadings obtained through robust estimation methods (such as MLR or DWLS). Unlike standard omega or Cronbach's alpha, it remains accurate when item distributions are non-normal, skewed, or when the sample contains influential outliers — conditions common in applied psychological and educational measurement.	Robust Cronbach's alpha adapts the classical internal consistency coefficient to data that violate the assumption of multivariate normality or contain influential outliers. By replacing the conventional sample covariance matrix with a robust counterpart, it yields a reliability estimate that is resistant to distortion by non-normal response distributions, contaminated observations, or small violations of model assumptions common in applied psychometric work.
