Convergent and Discriminant Validity Evaluation 1 In press, British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology Evaluation of Convergent and Discriminant Validity with Multitrait-Multimethod Correlations

چکیده
A procedure for evaluation of convergent and discriminant validity coefficients is outlined. The method yields interval estimates of these coefficients in a construct validation study conducted via the multitrait-multimethod approach, as well as permits examination of their population relationships. The procedure is readily employed in behavioral research using the increasingly popular latent variable modeling methodology. The described method is illustrated with a numerical example.

Towards understanding assessments of the big five: multitrait-multimethod analyses of convergent and discriminant validity across measurement occasion and type of observer.
Multitrait-multimethod analyses were used to examine the degree of convergent and discriminant validity of the Big Five. Phase 1 examined self-reports of the Big Five across three measurement occasions. Self-reports of the Big Five traits were stable, but were moderately intercorrelated. Phase 2 examined assessments of the Big Five across different types of informants (self, peer, and parent). ...

Exploratory structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to a multiple indicator (26 individual symptom ratings) by multitrait (ADHD-IN, ADHD-HI and ODD factors) by multiple source (mothers, fathers and teachers) model to test the invariance, convergent and discriminant validity of the Child and Adolescent Disruptive Behavior Inventory with 872 Thai adolescents and the ADHD Rating Scale-IV an...
متن کاملPath Analysis of Multitrait - Multimethod Matrices Neal
Path analyses of two multitrait-multimethod matrices are used as examples of the kind of information afforded by application of the technique. Discussed are tests of various possible models of the matrix, the reproduction of several correlations, and various reduced models. It is concluded that the technique should be of considerable aid to researchers who want to evaluate the convergent and di...
متن کاملA Multitrait–Multimethod Analysis of the Construct Validity of Child Anxiety Disorders in a Clinical Sample
The present study examines the construct validity of separation anxiety disorder (SAD), social phobia (SoP), panic disorder (PD), and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in a clinical sample of children. Participants were 174 children, 6 to 17 years old (94 boys) who had undergone a diagnostic evaluation at a university hospital based clinic. Parent and child ratings of symptom severity were ass...
متن کاملEvaluating the construct validity of adult ADHD and SCT among college students: a multitrait-multimethod analysis of convergent and discriminant validity.
OBJECTIVE To advance our understanding of adult ADHD and sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT), the present study investigates their construct validity by exploring the nature of trait- and method-related variance in self- and parent-ratings of ADHD and SCT. METHOD Using a multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) design, response variance in college undergraduates' (n = 3,925) and a subset of their parents' (n...
