7) RELIABILITY

To test the reliability of the scale, we use Cronbach's Alpha in IBM SPSS




REPORTING RELIABILITY IN APA STYLE



Reliability: Need to Belong Scale ( Leary, Kelly, Cottrell and Schreindorfer, 2005)
The need to belong scale was used to measure IIUM students towards the feeling of belonging. A total of 40 IIUM students answered this scale consisted of 10 items. The Cronbach alpha for these 10 items was 0.385, indicating unacceptable reliability.

Reliability: Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimet, Dahlem, Zimet and Farley, 1998)
The multidimensional scale of perceived social support was used to measure IIUM students towards social support. A total of 40 IIUM students answered this scale consisted of 12 items. The Cronbach alpha for these 12 items was 0.860, indicating good reliability.
