“…The Cronbach's alpha indicator was used to assess the initial reliability of the scales, obtaining values over the minimum of 0.7 (Cronbach, 1970) in all cases. Item-total correlation was used to improve the levels of the Cronbach's alpha; all items exceed the minimum value of 0.3 (De Vaus, 2001). Likewise, an exploratory factor analysis was performed in order to evaluate the unidimensionality of the proposed scales.…”

Citizen trust in the public administration has been reduced worldwide due to recent events such as the current economic situation, corruption cases or disclosure of classified information. This work analyzes whether e-government related actions could be strategically employed to increase citizen trust in the public administration. This research confirms that perceived quality of public e-services has a positive effect on trust in the public administration. In turn, public administration communication (i.e., campaigns to promote the benefits and use of e-government) only influence trust in the public administration for citizens with a favorable attitude towards e-government. These results have interesting implications suggesting in which ways public administration should invest their limited resources in order to recover the levels of citizen trust.Confianza en la administración pública; Servicios públicos electrónicos; Calidad del servicio electrónico; Creación de confianza en la adminsitración pública a través de acciones de gobierno electrónicoResumen La confianza en la administración pública se está reduciendo mundialmente debido a sucesos como la actual crisis económica, casos de corrupción o filtraciones de información clasificada.

“…; ambiguity toleration (Ely 1995;Oxford 1993); field dependent/independent or global/holistic preferences Witkin 1962); reflective and sequential styles Ehrman and Leaver 2003;Oxford 1993). This new survey (the Inventory of Language Learning Styles or ILLS-see Appendix) was piloted in an exploratory study (Griffiths 2012) and found to have a reliability of .83 (Chronbach alpha), which is well above the minimum threshold of .70 (de Vaus 1995;Oxford and Burry-Stock 1995), suggesting that the questionnaire was reliable for the purpose of investigating students' style preferences. Following the pilot study, another item relating to the use of authentic materials suggested in comments made by the students was added to the inventory.…”

Although the learning style construct has aroused much interest over the years, questions remain regarding basic issues such as definition, the validity and/or reliability of various measurement instruments, and the relationship between learning style and successful learning. Furthermore, although maintaining stylistic flexibility is recommended by many authors, few studies have attempted to relate the style-stretching concept to successful learning. This study therefore attempted to address these questions. According to results, conducted among 106 Turkish university students, using an original instrument constructed using elements from established questionnaires, a small group of styles was significantly correlated with exam results, accounting for about a quarter of the variance (considered a large effect size in social science). In addition, higher-scoring students reported a more eclectic range of styles, suggesting more willingness to style-stretch, while lower-scoring students reported a more limited range. Pedagogical implications as well as areas for ongoing research are suggested.
