Reliability coefficients of Cronbach’s alpha and leniency bias for the VAS and the VAS-RRP
| Type | Cronbach’s α | Leniency | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VAS (N = 246) | VAS-RRP (N = 251) | VAS (N = 246) | VAS-RRP (N = 251) | |
| R | .944 | .939 | .0219 | – .0026 |
| I | .955 | .941 | .0212 | – .0034 |
| A | .940 | .938 | .0012 | .0039 |
| S | .945 | .936 | .0160 | .0030 |
| E | .956 | .923 | .0105 | – .0001 |
| C | .960 | .928 | .0120 | – .0020 |
VAS = visual analogue scale; VAS-RRP = Visual Analogue Scale for Rating, Ranking, and Paired-Comparison; R, I, A, S, E, and C refer to the following interest types described by Holland (1997): realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional, respectively.
