The Cronbach Alpha Reliability analysis has been used and the Cronbach Alpha coefficient generated by SPSS gives an evaluation of the consistency. Generally‚ if a Cronbach Alpha coefficient of fewer than 0.60 is obtained‚ the internal consistency is assumed to be poor; a value in the range of 0.60 to 0.80 is suitable consistency and values above
