Grace Kelley to Blake Lively: Hollywood Role Model Queens Think about style, elegance, and the role model for women in the 1950s. Not only was Grace Kelly a famous movie star with flawless looks and style, but she was also a philanthropist, a mother and a princess. Now, this is a rather impressive list of qualities that seems as if it were a fairy tale, a wish list that a child may put together on their eighth birthday party, and wish for as they blew out the candle.

The results indicated that the Cronbach alpha for climate for sexual harassment measure was well above 0.70 as recommended by Nunnally (1978) i.e. 0.934. The corrected item-total correlation for all the items within the scale was positive and exceeded the value of 0.3 by a wide margin (Pallant, 2005). An examination of the scale’s inter-item correlation matrix indicated that the scale showed a moderate to strong positive correlation between all the items within the scale (Gliem & Gliem, 2003). The result determined that all items within the scales were stable enough to assess the intended construct.
