Construct validity findings from Campbell-Fiske and LISREL confirmatory factor analyses of a multitrait-multimethod matrix were compared for 252 low-track and 588 high-track eleventh- and twelfth-grade students. The manner in which construct validity varies across groups is also discussed. (SLD)

Byrne, Barbara M. – 1989
The construct validity of a multidimensional adolescent self-concept was estimated separately for males and females, and the results were compared across gender. The application of four multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) approaches to estimating construct validity was demonstrated, and the scope and consistency of the findings derived from each were…
