A K-Sample Significance Test for Independent Alpha Coefficients

Hakstian, A. Ralph; Whalen, Thomas E.

Psychometrika, 41, 2, 219-31, Jun 76

Details of a reasonably precise normalization technique for coefficient alpha are outlined, along with methods for estimating the variance of the normalized statistic. These procedures lead to the K-sample significance test. (RC)
