Does anyone know anything about Crombach's Alpha or where I can get
some information on it. A professor of mine suggested that I run a crombach's alpha
on a survey I did, question is what is a crombach's alpha?

NCSS software (Number Cruncher) calculates Cronbach's Alpha automatically when you calculate Pearson's correlation matrix. Kinda nice!!
