| Resumen≠ | Ordinal Cronbach's alpha is a reliability coefficient computed from polychoric or polyserial correlations rather than Pearson correlations, making it appropriate for Likert-type and other ordinal item response data. It corrects the systematic downward bias that standard Cronbach's alpha produces when items are treated as continuous but are actually ordinal. | Confirmatory factor analysis tests a researcher-specified factor structure against observed data. Unlike exploratory approaches, the researcher decides in advance which indicators load on which latent factor, and the model is evaluated by how closely the implied covariance matrix reproduces the sample covariance matrix. CFA is central to scale validation, construct validity assessment, and measurement invariance testing. |
