Підсумок	Multilevel reliability analysis estimates the internal consistency of scale scores separately at the within-group (individual) and between-group (cluster) levels. It corrects the bias that arises when ordinary alpha or omega is applied to hierarchically nested data, such as employees within organizations or students within classrooms.	McDonald's hierarchical omega (ωh) is a coefficient derived from a bifactor confirmatory factor model that quantifies what proportion of total-score variance is attributable to a single general factor rather than to group-specific factors or item-level error. Introduced by Roderick P. McDonald (1999) and elaborated for bifactor applications by Reise and colleagues (2013) and Rodriguez and colleagues (2016), it is the primary index used in psychometrics to evaluate whether a composite total score is a defensible summary of a multidimensional scale.
