Moreover, anomie scale has an adequate internal consistency coefficient, which is “α = .89.”
McClosky and Schaar (1965) proposed psychological anomie based on nine dichotomous (agree/disagree) items to measure an individual’s state of mind.
Factors with low communalities and no correlation were deleted with the aim of improving the factor structure to get a matrix with much clear loadings. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy was found to be .92.
(The minimum acceptable coefficient is .60 (Tabachnick & Fidell, 1996), and the Bartlett test of sphericity was significant 4598.45, p < .001.)
So, the Cronbach’s alpha for the meaninglessness was found out to be “.89,” distrust “.806,” moral decline “.715” and anomie scale “α = .89.”
A sufficient criterion is obtained for construct reliability (CR) with the meaninglessness factor of .89, distrust of .89 and moral decline of .829.
The original article has been updated.
