“…The values exceed the well-established benchmark of .70 (Nunnally, 1978), but they admittedly are not very high. Previous research suggests that reliability values should be interpreted in relation to values found in similar empirical settings (McCrae, Kurtz, Yamagata, & Terracciano, 2011); in particular, the reliabilities of personal characteristic scales developed in Western settings tend to be lower in less developed countries (e.g., Bouckenooghe, 2012;Kwantes, 2003;Yilmaz, Ozer, and Gunluk, 2014). Moreover, low reliability values attenuate regression estimates (Schmitt, 1996), so studies that find significant effects, despite relatively low reliabilities, offer more conservative statistical tests of the hypothesized relationships.…”
