Items were correlated using a standard Pearson's correlation.
Item-to-item correlations were all above the 0.70 level, and several items were correlated with a number of other items, which would indicate that some of the items might be redundant.
Further testing revealed that scores on the ventral items were not correlated with scores on a set of standard tests, and that scores on the dorsal items were correlated with general intelligence and some measures of personality.
Moderate convergent and discriminant validity were found when BFNE-II items were correlated with additional independent measures of social anxiety [i.e., Social Interaction Anxiety & Social Phobia Scales; Mattick, R. P., & Clarke, J. C. (1998).
Two more items were correlated to retention, although in these cases were negative.
Correlated items: If some commodities always have similar velocity patterns, we say that these items are correlated.
This is an index used to measure the internal consistency of a scale, in order to evaluate the level to which the items are correlated (Oviedo & Campos-Arias, 2005).
Finally, the estimated standard theta values for the participants of the two sets of items were correlated, showing the following values: Anxiety = 0.91, Capacity = 0.90, Locus = 0.94, Strategy = 0.80, Achievement = 0.90, Change = 0.88, and Task = 0.89.
Based on small modification indices, all items were correlated.
Both measures are indicators of the items' homogeneity and indicate how strongly the items are correlated.
