Dear stata members,

I want to do an item selectivity but I don?t know the stata command (I
always use SPSS). Is it right that I use the correlation between the
item and the total sum of the construct, e.g:
correlate allgAZ GesamtAZ
You need to investigate the options for -alpha-, notably -item- and - detail-


But then I don?t get any significane level.......

The significance level would be a test that the item had no correlation with the rest of the test, which is not a sensible hypothesis. Neither is the hypothesis that the test has a reliability of zero.

If you want to select items, I suggest you try -msp- which is a nonparametric method of constructing a scale or scales from an item pool.

Try

. findit msp

to find it.
