Confounding Constructs and Levels of Constructs in Affectivity Measurement: An Empirical Investigation.

Mossholder, Kevin W.; And Others

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v54 n2 p336-49 Sum 1994

The potential for confounding constructs with levels of constructs in measurement of positive and negative affectivity was studied with corporate managers (n=211 to 226). Results suggest that, when negative and positive affectivity are assessed only through high-pole descriptors, a reduction in the variance that is explained by affectivity measures may occur. (SLD)
