Abstract

In this rejoinder, we examine some of the issues Peter Bentler, Eunseong Cho, and Jules Ellis raise. We suggest a methodological solid way to construct a test indicating that the importance of the particular reliability method used is minor, and we discuss future topics in reliability research.
