Nonconvergence/Improper Solution Problems with the Correlated-Trait Correlated-Method Parameterization of a Multitrait-Multimethod Matrix
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
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…

Agreement among Physical Educators, Teachers and Parents on Children's Behaviors: A Multitrait-Multimethod Design Approach
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
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, &…

Multiple Group Factor Analysis of Multitrait-Multimethod Matrices.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Levin, Joseph – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1988
A means of transforming multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) matrices into a classical multiple group factor analysis is outlined. A reanalysis of two numerical illustrations shows that the classical procedure yields results similar to those reached by D. N. Jackson's (1975) two-step procedure for analysis of MTMM matrices.

Estimation Problems in the Block-Diagonal Model of the Multitrait-Multimethod Matrix.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brannick, Michael T.; Spector, Paul E. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1990
Applications of the confirmatory factor analysis block-diagonal model to published data on 18 multitrait-multimethod matrices were reviewed to show widespread estimation problems. Possible causes of estimation difficulties were explored using computer simulations. These problems make the block-diagonal approach less useful than has generally been…

Convergent and Discriminant Validity of Crites's Career Maturity Inventory Attitude Scale, Counseling Form B-1.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Stowe, Randall W. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1985
The multitrait-multimethod matrix procedure was employed to examine the convergent and discriminant validity of the five subscales of the Career Maturity Inventory (CMI) Attitude Scale, Counseling Form B-1. (Author/LMO)

Meta-Analytic Methods of Pooling Correlation Matrices for Structural Equation Modeling under Different Patterns of Missing Data
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
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…

Construct Validity of Multiple Measures in Teaching, Research, and Service and Reliability of Peer Ratings.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kremer, John F. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1990
The construct validity of 14 measures used in college faculty personnel decisions was evaluated through a multitrait-multimethod matrix for data from 89 faculty members in 7 departments. The three-pronged model of teaching, research, and service was not validated. Exploratory factor analysis identified five or six behavior domains for evaluation.…
