Dumenci, Levent; Yates, Phillip D. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2012
Estimation problems associated with the correlated-trait correlated-method (CTCM) parameterization of a multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) matrix are widely documented: the model often fails to converge; even when convergence is achieved, one or more of the parameter estimates are outside the admissible parameter space. In this study, the authors…

Camburn, Eric M.; Huff, Jason T.; Goldring, Ellen B.; May, Henry – Elementary School Journal, 2010
Because research has shown that principals' practices can significantly impact teaching and learning in their schools through multiple avenues, it is critical to understand the validity of tools that measure principal practice. While the field has relied heavily on self-report surveys, little is known about their validity. This study compares…

Efstratopoulou, Maria; Janssen, Rianne; Simons, Johan – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
The study examines the agreement among raters on children's problematic behaviors. A multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) matrix was applied to a normative sample of elementary school-aged children (N = 841). The participants were rated by their physical educators, using the Motor Behavior Checklist for children (MBC; Efstratopoulou, Janssen, &…

Reichardt, Charles S.; Coleman, S. C. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1995
The criteria for assessing convergent and discriminant validity proposed by D. T. Campbell and D. W. Fiske (1959) are shown to be inadequate for either the additive or multiplicative structures of data in a multitrait-multimethod matrix. Model-specific criteria are more promising for assessing convergent and discriminant validity. (Author/SLD)

Schweizer, Karl – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1991
An equal-level approach is proposed for investigating multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) matrices with respect to other organizational units that contain additional information concerning a MTMM matrix's validity. The approach requires equality in "data level" before coefficients are submitted for evaluation. Disaggregation is central to…

Furlow, Carolyn F.; Beretvas, S. Natasha – Psychological Methods, 2005
Three methods of synthesizing correlations for meta-analytic structural equation modeling (SEM) under different degrees and mechanisms of missingness were compared for the estimation of correlation and SEM parameters and goodness-of-fit indices by using Monte Carlo simulation techniques. A revised generalized least squares (GLS) method for…

Bechger, Timo M.; Maris, Gunter – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2004
This paper is about the structural equation modelling of quantitative measures that are obtained from a multiple facet design. A facet is simply a set consisting of a finite number of elements. It is assumed that measures are obtained by combining each element of each facet. Methods and traits are two such facets, and a multitrait-multimethod…
