Understanding repurchase intention of Airbnb consumers: perceived authenticity, electronic word-of-mouth, and price sensitivity (2018, methodology): “CR was used rather than Cronbach’s Alpha, which was critiqued by Peterson and Kim (2013) as being explored as “a lower bound” and hence may not be efficient to demonstrate true reliability when this is a multi-factor model.”
Cronbach’s Coefficient Alpha (2015, neutral): “That is, ôu ¼ ð P l̂iÞ2 ð P l̂iÞ2 þ P ŝ2ui ; ð19Þ or ôu ¼ ð P l̂iÞ2 ŝ2X ¼ 1 P ŝ2ui ŝ2X : ð20Þ Organizational researchers usually refer to these formulas as ‘‘composite reliability’’ (Peterson & Kim, 2013), which is supposedly a shorthand for the reliability of composite scores.”
Moderated Mediation between Work Life Balance and Employee Job Performance: The Role of Psychological Wellbeing and Satisfaction with Coworkers (2018, background): “Coefficient alpha can be lower than the CR value because it underestimates internal consistency for being a lower bound estimate of reliability (Peterson & Kim, 2013; Raykov, 2001).”
Appropriate use of single-item measures is here to stay (2014, background): “These reliabilities are very high according to accepted standards and higher than what scales in marketing and psychology normally attain (Peterson 1994; Peterson and Kim 2013).”
Impact of perceived value on the satisfaction of supermarket customers: developing country perspective (2020, methodology): “is usually calculated in conjunction with structural equation modelling (SEM) (Peterson and Kim, 2013).”
The Impact of Entrepreneurial Business Networks on Firms’ Performance Through a Mediating Role of Dynamic Capabilities (2019, methodology): “Wan Afthanorhan (2013) [97] and Astrachan, Claudia Binz, Patel, Vijay K.”
Psychological development and educational problems of left-behind children in rural China (2015, background): “Last but not least, Cronbach’s has been criticized as underestimating true reliability (Peterson & Kim, 2013).”
Do Overwhelmed Expatriates Intend to Leave? The Effects of Sensory Processing Sensitivity, Stress, and Social Capital on Expatriates' Turnover Intention (2018, methodology): “To assess reliability, we calculated composite reliabilities instead of Cronbach’s alpha, because composite reliabilities deliver better estimates of true reliability (Peterson and Kim, 2013).”
Measuring the dimensions of adaptive capacity: a psychometric approach (2015, background): “Actors engaged at all scales and levels of governance develop and implement adaptation policies, foster adaptive capacity, and undertake adaptive actions (Plummer 2013).”
