A Confirmatory Factor Analysis Approach to Construct Validation.

Rezmovic, Eva Lantos; Rezmovic, Victor

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v41 n1 p61-72 Spr 1981

A multitrait-multimethod matrix containing two methods of measuring 12 personality traits was analyzed and confirmatory factor analysis was applied to the data. Although unexplained variance remained, method factors and a general personality factor significantly improved the fit of a model containing only trait factors. (Author/RL)
