The Criteria for Convergent and Discriminant Validity in a Multitrait-Multimethod Matrix

The criteria for assessing convergent and discriminant validity proposed by D. T. Campbell and D. W. Fiske (1959) are shown to be inadequate for either the additive or multiplicative structures of data in a multitrait-multimethod matrix. Model-specific criteria are more promising for assessing conve...

Summary:The criteria for assessing convergent and discriminant validity proposed by D. T. Campbell and D. W. Fiske (1959) are shown to be inadequate for either the additive or multiplicative structures of data in a multitrait-multimethod matrix. Model-specific criteria are more promising for assessing convergent and discriminant validity. (Author/SLD)
