Reliability

[John F Hall]

I'm trying to run a Cronbach alpha test (if item omitted) on items in a scale.  So far I have:

 

RELIABILITY variables = v237 v239 v241 v243 v245

    /scale (extraversion) v237 v239 v241 v243 v245

    /MODEL = ALPHA

    /SUMMARY = MEANS TOTAL.

 

. .but nothing happens.  SPSS processor is waiting: what am I missing?

John,

You need a forward slash before the 'variables='.

RELIABILITY

    /variables = v237 v239 v241 v243 v245

    /scale (extraversion) v237 v239 v241 v243 v245

    /MODEL = ALPHA

    /SUMMARY = MEANS TOTAL.

No.  A slash is not required, and if it were, you would get an error message for omitting it.

If the Processor is ready, then most likely there is something above that is incomplete such as a loop without the ending condition or an unclosed transformation command.  Try restarting Statistics if nothing else is working.
