Internal consistency reliability was assessed by employing Cronbach's alpha (α), McDonald's omega (Ω) and Average Inter‐item Correlation (AIC). The values of the coefficients Ω and α which were greater than 0.7 were acceptable (Mayers, 2013) whereas the AIC value between 0.2–0.4 indicated good internal consistency (Hackman et al., 2006). CR, which replaces Cronbach's alpha coefficient in structural equation modelling, was then evaluated, and a CR value greater than 0.7 was considered acceptable (Sharif Nia et al., 2019).
