Resumo	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.	Robust item analysis applies outlier-resistant statistical methods to the evaluation of individual test or scale items. Instead of classical means and Pearson correlations — both sensitive to extreme scores — it uses trimmed means, Winsorized correlations, or M-estimators to obtain item difficulty and item-total discrimination indices that remain stable when respondent distributions are skewed or contaminated by outliers.
