Throughout the analyses in this study, the researcher utilized an alpha value
of .05. The first step the researcher utilized was to order all the questions with a p-
value of under .05 from smallest to largest. But, instead of simply comparing the p-
values to a .05 alpha level, the researcher used a stricter adjusted alpha level
discovered using the Holm-Bonferroni method. For the item with the smallest p-
value, the appropriate comparison is to the initial alpha value .05 divided by the
total number of tests run, 42—the comparison was to .05/42 = .00119048. If the p-
value is smaller than the adjusted alpha, it is safe to accept the item as significant
and move on to the next item. If the p-value is larger than the adjusted alpha, the
researcher cannot reject the null hypothesis and must stop. Table 2 displays the
procedure and results of the Holm-Bonferroni Procedure.
