The multitrait-multimethod approach to construct validity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The multitrait-multimethod matrix approach as proposed by Campbell and Fiske (1959) was an important contribution to our understanding of the nature of validation procedures. There are, however, problems encountered when using the Campbell and Fiske (1959) approach. The purpose of this article is to discuss the method and selected problems, and to propose an alternate approach to address those problems.

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 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 کاملRobustness to Non-Independence and Power of the I Test for Trend in Construct Validity
The Multitrait-Multimethod Matrix is used to evaluate construct validity; Sawilowsky (2002) created the I test to analyze the matrix. This article examined the robustness and power of the Sawilowsky I test. Ad hoc critical values were determined to improve the statistical power of the technique for analyzing the Multitrait-Multimethod Matrix.
متن کاملConstruct validation of 4 food-environment assessment methods: adapting a multitrait-multimethod matrix approach for environmental measures.
Few studies have assessed the construct validity of measures of neighborhood food environment, which remains a major challenge in accurately assessing food access. In this study, we adapted a psychometric tool to examine the construct validity of 4 such measures for 3 constructs. We used 4 food-environment measures to collect objective data from 422 Ontario, Canada, food stores in 2010. Residen...
متن کاملThe role of language in ethnic identity measurement: a multitrait-multimethod approach to construct validation.
The authors focused on the role of language use in measuring ethnic identity. They demonstrated the construct validity of a 3-dimensional measure and examined potential biases introduced by alternative methods such as constant sum scale. Their findings support the distinction between the 3 subdimensions of language use (English use in family, in media consumption, and while shopping). The autho...
