• Collegiate purpose orientations and well-being in early and middle adulthood (2010, background): “Indeed, Roberts and Onwuegbuzie (2003) (Onwuegbuzie & Daniel, 2002) suggest that high homogeneity of sample variance can yield lower internal consistency, which leads researchers to inaccurately view their instruments as having poor psychometric properties.”
• Students’ Perceptions of Characteristics of Effective College Teachers: A Validity Study of a Teaching Evaluation Form Using a Mixed-Methods Analysis (2007, background): “…yields scores with adequate reliability coefficients, it does not imply that these scores will yield valid scores because evidence of score reliability, although essential, is not sufficient for establishing evidence of score validity (Crocker & Algina, 1986; Onwuegbuzie & Daniel, 2002, 2004).”
• US teachers' and school counsellors' strategies for handling school bullying incidents (2008, background): “We also note that low alpha values do not necessarily mean that the data are not important (Onwuegbuzie & Daniel, 2002).”
• Treating Cronbach’s Alpha Reliability Coefficients as Data in Counseling Research (2006, background): “These primers use readily understandable terminology (e.g., Cortina, 1993; Onwuegbuzie & Daniel, 2002; Streiner, 2003b; Thompson, 2003).”
• The Measurement and Predictive Ability of Metacognition in Middle School Learners (2012, methodology): “Using procedures recommended Onwuegbuzie and Daniel (2000, 2002) the upper confidence interval was calculated for each of these coefficients.”
• The Relationships Between Race-Related Stress, Racial Identity, and Mental Health for Black Americans (2007, background): “She argued that these factors may negatively influence reliability (see also Onwuegbuzie & Daniel, 2002; Wilkinson & APA Task Force on Statistical Inference, 1999).”
