i know this is more of an spss question but i imagine that other IAT users come across the same problems so why not ask:

i want to check my IATs reliability and here is where it goes wrong:

for a reliability analysis i need different "items" to be put together. only in my IAT output i get only one colum with all my items being summed up under it.
now i am delving into data restructuring but cant seem to get it to work so that i get the variable names per item.
does it have to be this difficult? i imagine there is a way everyone calculates their IATs reliability but i just cant find answers online (only happily reported alphas and or half split reliabilities without mention of the how to do this...)

cheers

What people commonly do is to simply calculate the correlation between the D-scores for the shorter combined  "practice" blocks (expressions.da) and the longer combined "test" blocks (expressions.db); that's essentially a variation of "split half" reliability.
