A Validity Study of Two Preschool Screening Instruments: The LAP-D and DIAL-R.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Barnett, David W.; And Others – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1988
The Developmental Indicators for the Assessment of Learning-Revised (DIAL-R) and the Learning Accomplishment Profile-Diagnostic (LAP-D) were compared using 121 children in a Head Start Program. Results suggest that profile interpretations of the scales may not differentiate skill domains and that these scales may be indicative of general…

Controlling Correlational Bias via Confirmatory Factor Analysis of MTMM Data.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Graham, John W.; Collins, Nancy L. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 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…

Multitrait-Multimethod Validation of the Satisfaction with My Supervisor Scale.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Vandenberg, Robert J.; Scarpello, Vida – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1992
Using hierarchical confirmatory factor analysis to analyze multitrait-multimethod data, the validity of the Satisfaction with My Supervisor Scale (SWMSS) was evaluated by comparing the SWMSS to commitments to the organization, department, and occupation for 100 professional employees of a multinational software firm. The validity of the SWMSS was…

A Comparison of the Multitrait-Multimethod and Factor Analytic Methods in the Determination of the Discriminant Validity of Three Tests of Creativity.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bachelor, Patricia A. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1989
Whether 12 university students could discriminate validly between the correctness and originality of responses of 150 elementary school children to 3 creativity tests was studied as a determination of the discriminant validity of the tests through the multitrait-multimethod procedure. There was compelling evidence for convergent and discriminant…

A Comparison of High School Student Ratings of Teaching Effectiveness with Teacher Self-Ratings: Factor Analytic and Multitrait-Multimethod Analyses.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Aubrecht, Judith; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1986
Two large samples of high school teachers were rated for teaching effectiveness by the teachers and by their students, using the IDEA Form H. Factor analyses yielded highly similar underlying dimensions. Convergent validity coefficients were significant for all factors, supporting the validity of student ratings. (Author/GDC)

Four Multitrait-Multimethod Approaches to Examining the Construct Validity of Adolescent Self-Concept within and across Gender.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Byrne, Barbara M. – 1989
The construct validity of a multidimensional adolescent self-concept was estimated separately for males and females, and the results were compared across gender. The application of four multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) approaches to estimating construct validity was demonstrated, and the scope and consistency of the findings derived from each were…
