Peer reviewedAvison, 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.…

Peer reviewedSchmitt, 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)
