I have designed a questionnaire to measure the metacognitive skills in mathematical problem solving. I measured the reliability of it using Cronbach's alpha and it was 0.519. Since it is a low value, I examined it thoroughly and found there are negative correlations among questions. And the Alpha if item deleted column has all the values less than 0.40.

Then I thought of doing PCA to see the unidimensionality of the questionnaire. Can you please help me to do PCA in SPSS or any other method to improve the reliability?
