Alpha Reliability

This study examines the use of Cronbach alpha reliability estimate in research among university students in Ghana. An exploratory research design was employed in the study. University students’ (both undergraduate and post-graduate) research works were selected from three public universities in Ghana. With the use of inclusion criteria, purposive sampling technique was used to sample 100 research works conducted by students. The sampled research works were examined to evaluate how the students used Cronbach alpha reliability estimate. It was revealed that 91% of the works properly satisfied the conditions for the use of Cronbach alpha. However, 81% of the students calculated for the alpha for multiple constructs which suggests that alpha was treated as a measure of multidimensionality instead of internal consistency. It is recommended that applied courses in research and statistics should be mounted in the various public universities in Ghana. Workshops and seminars should also be organized for both students and lecturers on the use of Cronbach alpha reliability estimate.

The majority of elderly Dalit are illiterate, unemployed and living jointly with their family. For most of the respondents, allowance is the major source of personal income. Most of them spend allowance for their own expenses. The majority of respondents are satisfied with the present allowance but still, there is the demand for increasing the allowances as it is so insufficient for their basic needs. On the basis of priority, most of the respondents spend their money on food for household consumption, health and medicines, transportation expenses, alms, clothes for self and tobacco, alcohol accordingly. Most of them have not faced difficulties in getting allowances. However, some of them have faced difficulties to travel to authorized office or bank to collect allowance due to their age, are not receiving allowance timely, late receiving allowance due to age error in documents, do not get paid the full amount and they feel a lot of administrative hassles. Hence the government should give attention to the problem faced by the respondents while receiving the old age allowance.
