Statistical analyses

How homogenous is the MIPEX Health strand in the statistical sense? To what extent do all its items “measure the same thing”? These two questions should not be confused with each other. Researchers often attempt to deal with the second question by answering the first – by calculating the internal reliability of a scale, i.e. the extent to which the items in the scale are correlated with each other. However, this only measures their tendency to vary together. This reflects the extent to which they are affected by the same determinants, but it does not tell us whether they have the same effects.
