Eid, Michael; Nussbeck, Fridtjof W.; Geiser, Christian; Cole, David A.; Gollwitzer, Mario; Lischetzke, Tanja – Psychological Methods, 2008
The question as to which structural equation model should be selected when multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) data are analyzed is of interest to many researchers. In the past, attempts to find a well-fitting model have often been data-driven and highly arbitrary. In the present article, the authors argue that the measurement design (type of methods…

Hardin, J. Michael; Anderson, Billie S.; Woodby, Lesa L.; Crawford, Myra A.; Russell, Toya V. – Evaluation Review, 2008
This article explores the statistical methodologies used in demonstration and effectiveness studies when the treatments are applied across multiple settings. The importance of evaluating and how to evaluate these types of studies are discussed. As an alternative to standard methodology, the authors of this article offer an empirical binomial…

Zvoch, Keith; Letourneau, Lawrence E.; Parker, Robert P. – American Journal of Evaluation, 2007
The evaluation of an intervention delivered across multiple treatment sites presents a unique opportunity for evaluators to gauge the manner and degree to which the "impact" of treatment varies across implementation conditions and different target populations. However, the availability of implementation data for each treatment site, while…

Cole, David A.; And Others – Journal of Counseling Psychology, 1987
Compared alternative methods for examining relationship between two constructs and estimated true relationship between social skill and depression. Data from 68 subjects suggest that multitrait-multimethod data sets, analyzed via confirmatory factor-analytic techniques, can greatly enhance theory testing and development. (Author/NB)

Buckley, M. Ronald; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1990
A confirmatory factor analysis of 61 published data sets from multitrait-multimethod studies provides estimates of the trait, method, and error variances of measures used in the social and behavioral sciences. Traits accounted for less than 50 percent of the variance among construct measures overall. Implications for testing are discussed. (SLD)

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…
