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 suggested criteria of 0.30 it indicates that the item have adequate level of convergent validity
and are highly correlated with each other. We use Cronbachs Alpha () to measure the reliability of data; greater the values of Cronbachs
Alpha i-e 0.65, scale will be more reliable and vice versa.
