Ringkasan	Bayesian Cronbach's alpha applies Bayesian inference to estimate the classical internal-consistency coefficient, yielding a full posterior distribution over alpha rather than a single point estimate. This allows researchers to quantify uncertainty with credible intervals and incorporate prior knowledge, making reliability assessment more informative — especially with small or skewed samples.	Bayesian confirmatory factor analysis tests a pre-specified factor structure using Bayesian inference. Instead of point estimates with p-values, it produces full posterior distributions for loadings, factor correlations, and residual variances, allowing the researcher to incorporate prior knowledge and propagate parameter uncertainty naturally.	Generalizability Theory is a psychometric framework that decomposes observed score variance into multiple sources — persons, items, raters, occasions, and their interactions — using analysis of variance. It replaces the single reliability coefficient of classical test theory with a family of coefficients that tell researchers how well scores generalize across different measurement conditions.
