You have some good parts here but are missing the removal of items based on the item analysis. Be sure to review the Week 4 kaltura live where I go over this.
Also, the cronbach′s alpha is incorrect. Please be sure to submit your output (.spv) file so I can see where you went wrong.
The SPSS has to be attached that is ran to get information.
The attached file is real data that is being used to create a measure of sympathetic magic. (It is the irrational connection of items that are believed to lead to harm/pleasure when they are not actually harmful/beneficial. This construct can be broken into two laws: the law of contagion objects that were once in contact influence each other through transfer of properties; and the law of similarity, objects that resemble each other share fundamental properties.) The measure is attached as well.

For this assignment, conduct a reliability analysis of the internal consistency of items in SPSS (ANALYZE-˃SCALE-˃RELIABILITY ANALYSIS). You can use the default settings of Cronbach′s Alpha.
Reliability Analysis
For this assignment:
1. Provide an initial Cronbach′s Alpha for the data
2. Look over the individual items and remove (from the reliability analysis; don′t delete them from the data set) items that don′t have high reliability, rerun the analysis and report your new Cronbach′s alpha. Describe what items you removed and why.
3. Describe what is happening when you remove items that are not reliable (or internally consistent). Are there any issues with this approach of focusing solely on the internal consistency numbers?
Please attach your output file (.spv file) as well as your Word document with your responses in the assignment dropbox.
