The Nature of Rater Effects and Differences in Multilevel MTMM Latent Variable Models
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Konold, Timothy; Sanders, Elizabeth A. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2020
Measuring and understanding the nature of informant/rater effects and differences (Level 1) on a common trait when the target of measurement is at the organizational level (Level 2) involves a number of methodological considerations. Although previous research has discussed single-level latent variable applications of the correlated…

A Multilevel MTMM Approach to Estimating the Influences of Contextual Factors on Trait and Informant-Based Method Effects in Assessments of School Climate
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Konold, Timothy – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2018
School-level contextual factors have been found to influence reports of school climate. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the extent to which these associations are related to the school climate traits being measured or the methods (i.e., informants) used to obtain them. Data from a multilevel multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) design in…

Estimating School Climate Traits across Multiple Informants: An Illustration of a Multitrait-Multimethod Validation through Latent Variable Modeling
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Konold, Timothy R.; Shukla, Kathan – Educational Assessment, 2017
The use of multiple informants is common in assessments that rely on the judgments of others. However, ratings obtained from different informants often vary as a function of their perspectives and roles in relation to the target of measurement, and causes unrelated to the trait being measured. We illustrate the usefulness of a latent variable…

Choosing among Multiple Achievement Measures: Applying Multitrait--Multimethod Confirmatory Factor Analysis to State Assessment, ACT, and Student GPA Data
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dickinson, Emily R.; Adelson, Jill L. – Journal of Advanced Academics, 2016
Practitioners and researchers interested in understanding student achievement, its predictors, and how it relates to other student outcomes are likely unaware of how the source information about achievement may offer subtly different pictures. This study applies multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) within a structural…

Factorial Structure of the Anxiety Control Questionnaire in Chinese Adolescents
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Shujuan, Wang; Meihua, Qian; Jianxin, Zhang – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2009
This article examines the psychometric structure of the Anxiety Control Questionnaire (ACQ) in Chinese adolescents. With the data collected from 212 senior high school students (94 females, 110 males, 8 unknown), seven models are tested using confirmatory factor analyses in the framework of the multitrait-multimethod strategy. Results indicate…

Construct Validity of the Multidimensional Structure of Bullying and Victimization: An Application of Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Marsh, Herbert W.; Nagengast, Benjamin; Morin, Alexandre J. S.; Parada, Roberto H.; Craven, Rhonda G.; Hamilton, Linda R. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2011
Existing research posits multiple dimensions of bullying and victimization but has not identified well-differentiated facets of these constructs that meet standards of good measurement: goodness of fit, measurement invariance, lack of differential item functioning, and well-differentiated factors that are not so highly correlated as to detract…

Aldridge, Jill M.; Dorman, Jeffrey P.; Fraser, Barry J. – Australian Journal of Educational & Developmental Psychology, 2004
This paper describes the validation of actual and preferred forms of a new classroom environment instrument--the Technology-Rich Outcomes-Focused Learning Environment Inventory (TROFLEI)--using multitrait-multimethod modelling. The 80-item TROFLEI assesses 10 classroom environment dimensions: Student Cohesiveness, Teacher Support, Involvement,…
