Raykov, Tenko; Anthony, James C.; Menold, Natalja – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2023
The population relationship between coefficient alpha and scale reliability is studied in the widely used setting of unidimensional multicomponent measuring instruments. It is demonstrated that for any set of component loadings on the common factor, regardless of the extent of their inequality, the discrepancy between alpha and reliability can be…

Raykov, Tenko; Marcoulides, George A.; Akaeze, Hope O. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2017
This note is concerned with examining the relationship between within-group and between-group variances in two-level nested designs. A latent variable modeling approach is outlined that permits point and interval estimation of their ratio and allows their comparison in a multilevel study. The procedure can also be used to test various hypotheses…

Raykov, Tenko; Marcoulides, George A. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2015
A latent variable modeling procedure that can be used to evaluate intraclass correlation coefficients in two-level settings with discrete response variables is discussed. The approach is readily applied when the purpose is to furnish confidence intervals at prespecified confidence levels for these coefficients in setups with binary or ordinal…

Raykov, Tenko; Marcoulides, George A.; Tong, Bing – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2016
A latent variable modeling procedure is discussed that can be used to test if two or more homogeneous multicomponent instruments with distinct components are measuring the same underlying construct. The method is widely applicable in scale construction and development research and can also be of special interest in construct validation studies.…

Raykov, Tenko; Pohl, Steffi – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2013
A procedure for examining essential unidimensionality in multicomponent measuring instruments is discussed. The method is based on an application of latent variable modeling and is concerned with the extent to which a common factor for all components of a given scale accounts for their correlations. The approach provides point and interval…

Raykov, Tenko; Marcoulides, George A. – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
A directly applicable latent variable modeling procedure for classical item analysis is outlined. The method allows one to point and interval estimate item difficulty, item correlations, and item-total correlations for composites consisting of categorical items. The approach is readily employed in empirical research and as a by-product permits…
