Path Analysis of Multitrait - Multimethod Matrices Neal
نویسنده
چکیده
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 discriminant validity of their measures.

On the ways of investigating the discriminant validity of a scale in giving special emphasis to estimation problems when investigating multitrait-multimethod matrices
Discriminant validity is a valuable property of psychological scales that is usually investigated in the framework of the multitrait-multimethod approach. The establishment of discriminant validity demands the demonstration that the scale of interest representing a specific construct is unrelated to scales representing other constructs. The original implementation of the multitrait-multimethod ...
متن کاملMultitrait-Multimethod Data
A taxonomy of covariance structure models for representing multitrait-multimethod data is presented. Using this taxonomy, it is possible to formulate alternate series of hierarchically ordered, or nested, models for such data. By specifying hierarchically nested models, significance tests of differences between competing models are available. Within the proposed framework, specific model compar...
متن کاملA Multilevel Multitrait-Multimethod Analysis
The classical multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) matrix can be viewed as a two-dimensional cross-classification of traits and methods. Beside commonly used analysis methods such as structural equation modeling and generalizability theory, multilevel analysis offers attractive possibilities. If the focus is only on analyzing classical MTMM data, the multilevel approach has no surplus value, because t...
متن کاملConvergent and Discriminant Validity Evaluation 1 In press, British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology Evaluation of Convergent and Discriminant Validity with Multitrait-Multimethod Correlations
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 v...
متن کاملStructural Equation Modelling of Multiple Facet Data: Extending Models for Multitrait-Multimethod Data
This paper is about the structural equation modelling of quantitative measures that are obtained from a multiple facet design. A facet is simply a set consisting of a finite number of elements. It is assumed that measures are obtained by combining each element of each facet. Methods and traits are two such facets, and a multitrait-multimethod study is a two-facet design. We extend models that w...
