Usually, The Cronbach’s alpha is used to measure the
internal consistency among the items. According to
(9.) Gliem & Gilem (2003), the reliability coefficient Table:8
Alpha normally ranges between 0 and 1. The rule of
thumb specified by (10). George & Mallery (2003) for
interpreting Cronbach’s alpha is that “above 0.80 is
acceptable.” Hence, the present scale Cronbach’s
alpha of social networking usage (α= .860), indicates
good internal reliability. So, my reliability analysis
suggests that social networking usage questionnaires
is internally consistent. The reliability calculations are
presented in Table 7.
