Controlling Correlational Bias via Confirmatory Factor Analysis of MTMM Data.

Graham, John W.; Collins, Nancy L.

Multivariate Behavioral Research, v26 n4 p607-29 1991

Common approaches to examining the relationship between multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) data and variables outside the MTMM data are compared: averaging various means of each trait and estimating LISREL computer program models, and estimating only relationships between MTMM traits and the outside variables. Problems of correlational bias are discussed. (SLD)
