Interpretation of the Table:
Factor Analysis test has been used to check the convergence validity of the items. The criterion of test is Corrected Item-Total Correlation
value must be greater than 0.30; if the items exceeds the recommended criteria of 0.30 it indicates that the item have adequate level of
convergent validity and are highly correlated with each other. The above table 1.1 shows the result of corrected items-total correlation
excluding all the items which have value less than 0.3 for example in table 1.1 IHLC 04 and IHLC 05 are excluded ; CHCL 01 and CHCL 02 are
excluded; etc. We uses Cronbachs Alpha () to measure the reliability of data; greater the Cronbachs Alpha i-e 0.65, scale will be more
reliable and vice versa.
