Reliability and Validity Calculators

Check that a questionnaire scale is internally consistent and that raters or repeated measurements agree. These are the reliability statistics reviewers ask for in survey and clinical research.

Cronbach’s Alpha Calculator

Internal consistency of a scale with item-total correlations and alpha if item deleted.

Replaces SPSS Reliability

Cohen’s Kappa Calculator

Agreement between two raters on categories, with weighted kappa for ordinal ratings.

Replaces SPSS Crosstabs

Fleiss’ Kappa Calculator

Agreement among three or more raters assigning cases to categories.

Replaces SPSS 26+

Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) Calculator

All six Shrout-Fleiss ICC forms with F-tests and confidence intervals, for continuous ratings.

Replaces SPSS Reliability

Reliability and Validity Analysis

Cronbach’s α, composite reliability, AVE, MSV, McDonald’s ω, Fornell–Larcker and HTMT for all constructs at once.

Replaces AMOS · SmartPLS

HTMT Calculator for Discriminant Validity

Heterotrait–monotrait ratio for every pair of constructs, with Fornell–Larcker, AVE and CR alongside.

Replaces AMOS · SmartPLS

Composite Reliability and AVE Calculator

Enter standardized loadings to get CR, AVE and √AVE, plus the Fornell–Larcker test if you add construct correlations.

McDonald’s Omega Calculator

Omega total from a one-factor model, with Cronbach’s alpha, standardized loadings and item diagnostics for one scale.

Replaces JASP · R psych

Split-Half Reliability Calculator

Odd-even or first-second half split with Spearman-Brown, Guttman split-half, KR-20 and KR-21.

Replaces SPSS Reliability

Harman’s Single Factor Test for Common Method Bias

Check common method variance: variance explained by one unrotated factor, plus a single-factor CFA comparison.

Replaces SPSS Factor

Content Validity Index (CVI) and CVR Calculator

I-CVI, S-CVI/Ave, S-CVI/UA and modified kappa from expert ratings, or Lawshe’s content validity ratio with critical values.

Cronbach’s Alpha Calculator

Use it for any multi-item scale before computing a total or mean score. Values of .70 or more are commonly acceptable, and values above .95 may indicate redundant items.

Cohen’s Kappa Calculator

Use it when two raters classify the same cases into categories. For three or more raters use Fleiss’ kappa; for continuous ratings use the ICC.

Fleiss’ Kappa Calculator

Use it when each case is rated into categories by three or more raters.

Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) Calculator

Use the ICC for continuous ratings by several raters, or test-retest reliability. Choose the form: one-way if each subject has different raters, two-way random if raters are a sample, two-way mixed if these raters are the only ones of interest.

Reliability and Validity Analysis

Use it in the measurement-model section of any survey-based study to establish reliability, convergent validity and discriminant validity before testing hypotheses.

HTMT Calculator for Discriminant Validity

Use it in the measurement-model section of any survey-based study to establish reliability, convergent validity and discriminant validity before testing hypotheses.

Composite Reliability and AVE Calculator

Use it when you have standardized loadings but not the raw data, for example to check values reported in a paper or exported from AMOS.

McDonald’s Omega Calculator

Use omega instead of, or alongside, Cronbach’s alpha, especially when loadings differ across items (congeneric measurement), as most reviewers now expect.

Split-Half Reliability Calculator

Use split-half reliability for tests given once, especially achievement tests and scales where an odd-even split gives two comparable forms.

Harman’s Single Factor Test for Common Method Bias

Report it in survey studies where predictors and outcomes come from the same respondents at the same time, as many journals require.

Content Validity Index (CVI) and CVR Calculator

Use it during questionnaire development, after a panel of experts rates each item for relevance (CVI) or for how essential it is (CVR).
