I am confused with how to calculate Cronbach's alpha of IAT , and I think that the calculation of Cronbach's alpha of IAT and ST-IAT will be the same ,right? It will be kind of you if you can tell me how to resolve this problem. Thank you very much! Tags Cronbachs alpha IAT α

It will be kind of you if you can tell me how to resolve this problem. Thank you very much! If you want to calculate Cronbach's alpha, you essentially - compute difference scores for every single trial of the combined blocks, - treat those as separate items, and - calculate alpha over that. I'll note that the more common (and easier) approach to assess IAT reliability is some variation of split-half reliability, e.g. calculation the correlation between the D-score for the 1st combined blocks (da) and the D-score for the 2nd combined blocks (db). https://faculty.washington.edu/agg/pdf/Schnabel%20&%20al.Hbk_2008.proofs.pdf gives a short overview of the various approaches.
