Classical reliability statistics for the Impact of Events Scale, frequency and severity versions

Corrected item–total correlations

Scale Cronbach’s α ωh AIC Mean Min Max
IES frequency 0.93 (0.91) 0.77 (0.75) 0.49 (0.41) 0.74 (0.61) 0.42 (0.34) 0.81 (0.71)
IES severity 0.97 (0.95) 0.89 (0.76) 0.69 (0.60) 0.83 (0.76) 0.76 (0.66) 0.87 (0.80)

Item–total correlations corrected for item overlap. Item statistics are based on polychoric correlations (non-polychoric statistics are in parentheses).

AIC, average interitem correlation; IES, Impact of Events Scale.
