Examining the "Urban Legend" of Common Method Bias: Nine Common Errors and Their Impact
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we examine the “urban legend” of CMB and question the impact of nine common errors that researchers make when designing survey instrument. We define the nine most common errors and implement these errors in an empirical study of 537 undergraduate students enrolled in an Introductory Psychology course at a large southeastern university. By analyzing this data in PLS, we discover that each of the sources of CMB differently impacts the measurement and structural model for researchers.

Truth or Urban Legend?
It has become widely accepted that correlations between variables measured with the same method, usually self-report surveys, are inflated due to the action of common method variance (CMV), despite a number of sources that suggest the problem is overstated. The author argues that the popular position suggesting CMV automatically affects variables measured with the same method is a distortion an...
متن کاملVerification and Validation of Common Derivative Terms Approximation in Meshfree Numerical Scheme
In order to improve the approximation of spatial derivatives without meshes, a set of meshfree numerical schemes for derivative terms is developed, which is compatible with the coordinates of Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical. Based on the comparisons between numerical and theoretical solutions, errors and convergences are assessed by a posteriori method, which shows that the approximations...

متن کاملStudying The Role of Social Capital in Cohesion of urban areas and its impact on reducing social Harm (Case study: Pardis New Town)
Today, with the development of urbanization and increased abnormal behaviors, particularly urban crimes, prevention of social harms is of great importance. Social Sciences and Urban Development can prevent crime in urban areas by understanding cultural and social traits alongside other actions, in a way that the wrongdoer finds less opportunity for acting a criminal behavior in urban areas. The...
