Auxiliary Theory and Multitrait-Multimethod Validation: A Review of Two Approaches.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Avison, William R. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1978
Path analytic techniques for assessing the validity of indicators in multitrait-multimethod matrices represent improvements on Campbell and Fiske's early procedures for testing for validity. The diagnosis of indicator ills by means of confirmatory factor analysis is especially useful. An empirical example of these techniques is presented.…

Path Analysis of Multitrait-Multimethod Matrices
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Schmitt, Neal – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1978
Path analyses of two multitrait-multimethod matrices are used as examples of the kind of information afforded by application of the technique. It is concluded that the technique should be of considerable aid to researchers who want to evaluate the convergent and discriminant validity of their measures. (Author/CTM)

Interrelations among Models for the Analysis of Moment Structures.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bentler, Peter M.; Weeks, David G. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1979
Factor analysis in several populations, covariance structure models, three-mode factor analysis, structural equations systems with measurement model, and analysis of covariance with measurement model are all shown to be specializations of a general moment structure model. Some new structured linear models are also described. (Author/CTM)

Structures of Well-Being: Sufficient Conditions for Identification as Restricted Covariance Models.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Burt, Ronald S.; And Others – Sociological Methods and Research, 1979
An example demonstrates that Joreskog's suggested sufficient conditions for identifying unknown parameters in a confirmatory factor analytic model with correlated factors are not sufficient. Sufficient conditions are presented. (Author/JKS)

Structural Analysis of Covariance and Correlation Matrices.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Joreskog, Karl G. – Psychometrika, 1978
A general approach to analysis of covariance structures is considered, in which the variances and covariances or correlations of the observed variables are directly expressed in terms of the parameters of interest. The statistical problems of identification, estimation and testing of such covariance or correlation structures are discussed.…

Confirmatory Factor Analysis Applications: Missing Data Problems and Comparison of Path Models between Populations.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Werts, C. E.; And Others – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1979
Procedures for simultaneous confirmatory factor analysis in several populations are useful in a variety of problems. This is demonstrated with examples involving missing data, comparison of part correlations between groups, testing the equality of regression weights between groups with multiple indicators of each variable, and the formulation of…

Establishing a Causal Model for Bloom's Taxonomy through Path Analysis.
O'Hara, Takeshi; And Others – 1978
Path analysis was used to reanalyze Kropp and Stoker's data from tests designed to evaluate Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives in the cognitive domain. Scores for 1,128 students in grades nine through twelve were analyzed separately by grade level for four content areas on six taxonomic levels. A measure of general ability was also…
