One point to deepen your analysis: Have you checked item-total correlations or “Cronbach’s Alpha if item deleted”? This could help identify whether certain items are inflating the Alpha without contributing meaningful new information.
Also, since your scale deals with nuanced metaphor categories, how did you ensure that high internal consistency doesn’t come at the cost of content validity (i.e., covering all aspects of the construct rather than just very similar items)?
