Internal consistency was examined with Cronbach's alpha. Table 7 reports alpha = 0.81 for To socialize/connective (9 items), 0.83 for To get information/analytical (7 items), 0.85 for To discuss/innovative (9 items), 0.70 for To fulfill requirements/practical (7 items), and 0.89 for the full 32-item scale. No effect size is printed.

"Cronbach's alpha coefficient was tested for reliability of the scale, and the reliability coefficients are presented in Table 7."
