Përmbledhja	Short-form Cronbach's alpha quantifies the internal consistency reliability of an abbreviated version of a psychological scale. It applies Cronbach's alpha formula to a reduced item set, verifying that the shortened instrument retains sufficient reliability to support valid score interpretation in research and applied contexts.	Item response theory models the probability that a respondent answers an item correctly (or endorses it) as a function of the respondent's latent trait level and the item's own statistical properties — difficulty, discrimination, and guessing. Unlike classical test theory, IRT places persons and items on the same scale, yielding measurement that is sample-independent for items and test-independent for persons.
