Tenko Raykov; Bingsheng Zhang – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
Multidimensional measuring instruments are often used in behavioral, social, educational, marketing, and biomedical research. For these scales, the paper discusses how to find the optimal score based on their components that is associated with the highest possible reliability. Within the framework of structural equation modeling, an approach to…
