411 An Alternative Procedure for Assessing Convergent and Discriminant Validity Donald R. Lehmann Columbia University This paper presents a simple procedure for estab- lishing convergent and discriminant validity.The method uses ordinary least-squares regression (OLS) with the correlations between measures as the depen- dent variable. struct validity by presenting correlations between a measure of a construct and a number of other measures that should, theoreti-cally, be associated with it (convergent validity) or vary indepen-dently of it (discriminant validity). N2 - Objective: To examine the convergent validity of Mental Component Scale of the Short-Form 12 (SF-12 MCS) with the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10). This means the EFA will be able to spot problematic variables much more easily than the CFA. this research question: To what extent does convergent validity and discriminant validity exist for the motivation construct? Researchers are encouraged to develop and report convergent validity data. Convergent validity and divergent validity are ways to assess the construct validity of a measurement procedure (Campbell & Fiske, 1959). This is a sign of low correlation and is usually corroborated by a low pattern matrix loading. Results in orthogonal (uncorrelated factors). For example, if you expected item foo3 to load with items foo1 and foo2, but instead it loaded with items moo1-3, then you should just let it. UR - http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=84938966449&partnerID=8YFLogxK. R… PAF is preferred because it accounts for co-variation, whereas PCA accounts for total variance. Future study is warrant to examine the diagnostic validity of the SF-12 MCS by using gold standard to assess clinical depression. Convergent Validity Convergent validity is the assessment to measure the level of correlation of multiple indicators of the same construct that are in agreement. Results: ROC analysis indicated the excellent convergent validity of SF-12 MCS with the CESD-10 threshold for identifying probably clinically significant depression, with the area under curve ranged from 0.81 to 0.85. @article{21fc299929774caeb1e639ffa1d3dc1a. Reliability means just what it sounds like: a "reliable" set of variables will consistently load on the same factor. Sufficient/significant loadings depend on the sample size of your dataset. Sample . Bootstrapping estimates of the mean difference indicated no significant difference in the optimal cutoff scores between these age cohorts. Furthermore, the standardized loading estimates of all the constructs were also within the threshold limit. The optimal cutoff scores for depression among the younger to middle age group, late middle age group and older age group were 48.1, 50.2 and 50.2, respectively, with sensitivities ranged from 77 to 83 % and specificities ranged from 73 to 78 %. The optimal cutoff scores for depression among the younger to middle age group, late middle age group and older age group were 48.1, 50.2 and 50.2, respectively, with sensitivities ranged from 77 to 83 % and specificities ranged from 73 to 78 %. Excellent convergent validity with the “perceptual threshold of touch” test (Spearman rho=-0.67) Poor convergent validity with the exteroceptive somatosensation evaluated by the Erasmus MC modification of the (revised) Nottingham sensory assessment (Em-NSA): Cronbach's alpha should be above 0.7; although, ceteris paribus, the value will generally increase for factors with more variables, and decrease for factors with fewer variables. We theorize that all four items reflect the idea of self esteem (this is why I labeled the top part of the figure Theory). The values of the AVE for. Implications of using measures with less-than-ideal convergent validity for the interpretability of research results are examined. CPM thresholds may rectify CPM incongruence by correctly classifying time spent within each activity intensity category. Two primary methods exist for determining discriminant validity during an EFA. For a very rocky but successful demonstration of handling a troublesome EFA, watch my SEM Boot Camp 2014 Day 3 Afternoon Video towards the end. The table below outlines the thresholds for sufficient/significant factor loadings. title = "Interpreting SF-12 mental component score: an investigation of its convergent validity with CESD-10". You can run the EFA using a more exploratory approach without regard to expected loadings. One is to correlate the scores between two assessment tools or tools’ sub-domains that are considered to measure the same construct. A significant result (Sig. The link below will start you at the right time position. A correlation greater than 0.7 indicates a majority of shared variance (0.7 * 0.7 = 49% shared variance). Voorbeeld: Een meetinstrument voor het meten van basisvaardigheden voor rekenen. Results: ROC analysis indicated the excellent convergent validity of SF-12 MCS with the CESD-10 threshold for identifying probably clinically significant depression, with the area under curve ranged from 0.81 to 0.85. The example below illustrates a very clean factor structure in which convergent and discriminant validity are evident by the high loadings within factors, and no major cross-loadings between factors (i.e., a primary loading should be at least 0.200 larger than secondary loading). In the comparison of BF% as determined by BIA and LS2D, the threshold for convergent validity was met (0.77) and a small, but statistically significant, bias of 1.8% (LS2D overestimated relative to BIA) existed for the group (Table 4). Convergent validity of pain thresholds across different body points was found to be high for all combinations assessed (Cronbach's alpha values >.80), but … The convergent validity was also assessed via composite reliability (CR) and average variance extracted (AVE), the results showed that each construct was within the acceptable limited of 0.7 and 0.5 respectively [75, 76]. The study findings indicated the satisfactory performance of the SF-12 MCS in identifying probably clinical depression. Discriminant validity refers to the extent to which factors are distinct and uncorrelated. I tell students not to remove an item just because of a low communality, but to watch it carefully throughout the rest of the EFA. You should always do everything in your power to retain constructs that are key to your theory. To establish convergent validity, the factor loading of the indicator, composite reliability (CR) and the average variance extracted (AVE) have to be considered. Thus, a researcher interested in “rumination” as … Factor structure refers to the intercorrelations among the variables being tested in the EFA. Discriminant validity (or divergent validity) tests that constructs that should have no … The study findings indicated the satisfactory performance of the SF-12 MCS in identifying probably clinical depression. Thus, a researcher interested in “rumination” as … Methods: Data were obtained from a household survey carried out in Hong Kong. The table below outlines the thresholds for sufficient/significant factor loadings. Unlike convergent validity, where we are interested in the extent to which the scores converge (i.e., we want to see a strong relationship between the two scores on the same construct), with divergent validity, we are interested in the extent to which the scores diverge (i.e., we want to see little or no relationship between the two scores from the two constructs). Then, if that EFA results in removing some items to achieve discriminant validity, you can try putting the EFA back together with the remaining items (although it still might not work). This is the approach used in AMOS, so if you are going to use AMOS for CFA and structural modeling, you should use this one during the EFA. In this study we propose to test the convergent validity of the ActiGraph GT3X+ and the origi-nal Actical accelerometer, by assessing the agreement between units … Then during the CFA, make sure to model the higher order factor properly by making a 2nd order latent variable. Construct Validity: Convergent vs. Discriminant. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analyses were performed to examine the convergent validity of SF-12 MCS against the CESD-10 threshold for probably clinically significant depression for the younger to middle-aged, late middle-aged and older population cohorts. A communality is the extent to which an item correlates with all other items. We examined the convergent validity of the EuroQol-5 Dimension 3-level questionnaire (EQ-5D-3L) as a measure of quality of life in homeless adults with mental illness. Discriminant validity (or divergent validity) tests that constructs that should have no relationship do, in fact, not have any relationship. Setting 40 centres in the USA between 29 October 2009 and 1 July 2010. Let us say that you are doing an EFA and your pattern matrix ends up a mess. A two-stage stratified sampling method successfully interviewed 1795 adult subjects from 1239 households. Use when there is concern with prediction, parsimony and you know the specific and error variance are small. / Yu, Doris S.F. Thanks! In reply to Wilkes and Wilcox, the authors discuss the process by which convergent validity is investigated and relate it to the procedures adopted in their original article. Seeks a linear combination of variables such that maximum variance is extracted—repeats this step. Well, maybe. Regardless of sample size, it is best to have loadings greater than 0.500 and averaging out to greater than 0.700 for each factor. The study findings indicated the satisfactory performance of the SF-12 MCS in identifying probably clinical depression. If communalities for a particular variable are low (between 0.0-0.4), then that variable may struggle to load significantly on any factor. Response thresholds between 40% and 80% demonstrated evidence for convergent validity, with the strongest correlation with the number of FI episodes, the number of FI episodes when the patient was awake, and the number of FI-free days observed at ≥40% and ≥50% thresholds. What can you do about it? Convergent validities above r = .70 are recommended, whereas those below r = .50 should be avoided. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analyses were performed to examine the convergent validity of SF-12 MCS against the CESD-10 threshold for probably clinically significant depression for the younger to middle-aged, late middle-aged and older population cohorts. METHODS . Bootstrapping estimates of the mean difference indicated no significant difference in the optimal cutoff scores between these age cohorts. The relationship between both types of measures and intelligence (GMA) was also analyzed. keywords = "Adult Chinese population, Depression, Mental health, Short-Form 12 Health Survey". Evidence for strong support of the item’s convergent validity can be obtained by reviewing their squared factor loadings, which are desired to achieve the cut-off level of .5 or higher. Researchers John Cacioppo and Richard Petty did this when they created their self-report Need for Cognition Scale to measure how much people value and engage in thinking (Cacioppo & Petty, 1982) [1]. Methods: Internal consistency, construct validity, and criterion validity of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS) were assessed. Higher communalities are better. In psychology, discriminant validity tests whether concepts or measurements that are not supposed to be related are actually unrelated.. Campbell and Fiske (1959) introduced the concept of discriminant validity within their discussion on evaluating test validity.They stressed the importance of using both discriminant and convergent validation techniques when assessing new tests. The sample was a nonrandom, purposive sample that was collected during the 20122013 and 2013- - 2014 academic years from a small rural university. Evidence of convergent validity was provided when the algometer was significantly correlated to another outcome assessing vulvar pain sensitivity. Generally, the smaller the sample size, the higher the required loading. For variance-based structural equation modeling, such as partial least squares, the Fornell-Larcker criterion and the examination of cross-loadings are the dominant approaches for evaluating discriminant validity. Variables should load significantly only on one factor. Now I am using the PLS for analyzing my data and I am in the measurement model stage. MID thresholds derived from this study are largely in line with previously established thresholds with some minor adjustments. This is evident by the factor loadings. 411 An Alternative Procedure for Assessing Convergent and Discriminant Validity Donald R. Lehmann Columbia University This paper presents a simple procedure for estab- lishing convergent and discriminant validity.The method uses ordinary least-squares regression (OLS) with the correlations between measures as the depen- dent variable. T1 - Interpreting SF-12 mental component score: an investigation of its convergent validity with CESD-10. Why do I bring this up? 3. Objectives To test the reliability, validity and responsiveness of the 13-item Shortness of Breath with Daily Activities (SOBDA) questionnaire, and determine the threshold for response and minimal important difference (MID). This happens all the time when you extract based on eigenvalues. ROC analysis indicated the excellent convergent validity of SF-12 MCS with the CESD-10 threshold for identifying probably clinically significant depression, with the area under curve ranged from 0.81 to 0.85. and Yan, {Chau Wai Elsie} and Chow, {Choi Kai}", https://doi.org/10.1007/s11136-015-0959-x, Interpreting SF-12 mental component score: an investigation of its convergent validity with CESD-10, Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health. A Convergence–Divergence Continuum. Considers all of the available variance (common + unique) (places 1’s on diagonal of correlation matrix). Bootstrapping estimates of the mean difference indicated no significant difference in the optimal cutoff scores between these age cohorts. Each factor should aim to have at least 3 variables, although 2 variables is sometimes permissible. Then rename your factors according to what loaded on them. Once I have a good EFA solution, then if the Heywood case is still there (usually it resolves itself), then I try a different rotation method (Varimax will fix it every time). Data on SF-12 MCS and the CESD-10 were extracted. 2.4. If it doesn't, then consider whether these two factors are actually just two dimensions or manifestations of some higher order factor. De test bestaat totaal uit 20 items, waarvan 10 items betrekking hebben tot optellen en aftrekken, 8 items betrekking hebben tot vermenigvuldigen en 2 items betrekking hebben tot delen. Methods: Data were obtained from a household survey carried out in Hong Kong. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) is a statistical approach for determining the correlation among the variables in a dataset. Convergent and divergent validity. Direction of causality is from measure to construct, No reason to expect the measures are correlated, Direction of causality is from construct to measure. Face validity is very simple. Low values indicate candidates for removal after you examine the pattern matrix. Squared factor loadings for all but one item (Be6, X 2 = .40) turned out to accomplish this threshold, as the majority of items demonstrated squared loadings in the .80s. The questionnaire consisted of five domains that assessed oral health, functional well-being, social-emotional well-being, school environment, and self-image. The convergent validity was also assessed via The convergent validity was also assessed via composite reliability (CR) and average variance extracted (AVE), the results showed that each construct was within the acceptable limited of 0.7 and 0.5 respectively [ 75, 76 ]. A two-stage stratified sampling method successfully interviewed 1795 adult subjects from 1239 households. Convergent validity video that explains the definition in a dynamic and interactive way. We passed the "magic" threshold of 100 million robot programs created. Then, during the CFA, be sure to properly model the 2nd order factor with an additional latent variable connected to its sub-factors. Convergent validity tests that constructs that are expected to be related are, in fact, related. In this video, I take one of the seminar participant's data, which I had never seen before, and with which he had been unable to arrive at a clean EFA, and I struggle through it until we arrive at something valid and usable. Data on SF-12 MCS and the CESD-10 were extracted. Overall, psychometric tests based on various validity (convergent, known-groups, concurrent) and reliability (Cronbach α) analyses confirmed previous findings in that FACT-M performs well in MCC patients. Factors that demonstrate sufficient face validity should be easy to label. http://statwiki.kolobkreations.com/index.php?title=Exploratory_Factor_Analysis&oldid=3030120, minimizes number of variables with extreme loadings (high or low) on a factor, makes it possible to identify a variable with a factor, minimizes the number of factors needed to explain each variable, tends to generate a general factor on which most variables load with medium to high values. Rotation causes factor loadings to be more clearly differentiated, which is often necessary to facilitate interpretation. Deze pagina is voor het laatst bewerkt op 2 nov 2019 om 16:35. EFA that results in too many or too few factors (contrary to expected number of factors). C onvergent validity and discriminant validity are commonly regarded as ways to assess the construct validity of a measurement procedure (Campbell & Fiske, 1959). Bootstrapping estimates of the mean difference indicated no significant difference in the optimal cutoff scores between these age cohorts. Convergent and discriminant validities are two fundamental aspects of construct validity. The sample consisted of 88 females and 53 males, or author = "Yu, {Doris S.F.} Results: ROC analysis indicated the excellent convergent validity of SF-12 MCS with the CESD-10 threshold for identifying probably clinically significant depression, with the area under curve ranged from 0.81 to 0.85. This type of analysis provides a factor structure (a grouping of variables based on strong correlations). gathered from the records of 100 consecutive patients who sought help for tinnitus and/or hyperacusis from an audiology clinic in the United Kingdom. The convergent validity of Actiwatch 2 and ActiGraph Link accelerometers in measuring total sleeping period, wake after sleep onset, and sleep efficiency in free-living condition Sleep Breath . The CESD-10 is a screening tool for probably clinically significant depression in the Chinese population. Future study is warrant to examine the diagnostic validity of the SF-12 MCS by using gold standard to assess clinical depression. Convergent validity tests that constructs that are expected to be related are, in fact, related. If there are exceptions, are they explainable? A two-stage stratified sampling method successfully interviewed 1795 adult subjects from 1239 households. For instance, Item 1 might be the statement “I feel good about myself” rated using a 1-to-5 Likert-type response format. Convergent validity means that the variables within a single factor are highly correlated. Yu, Chau Wai Elsie Yan, Choi Kai Chow, Research output: Journal article publication › Journal article › Academic research › peer-review. Convergent validity. Convergent Validity indicates how well a measure correlates with other measures that ostensibly measure the same thing. The rule is that variables should relate more strongly to their own factor than to another factor. Reliability refers to the consistency of the item-level errors within a single factor. Convergent validity and discriminant validity are commonly regarded as subsets of construct validity. If all the "Trust" variables in the pattern matrix above loaded onto a single factor, we may have to abstract a bit and call this factor "Trust" rather than "Trust in Agent" and "Trust in Company". ... all of the ratio values were greater than a minimum threshold that was the evidence of the discriminant validity. In the figure below, we see four measures (each is an item on a scale) that all purport to reflect the construct of self esteem. Audiological measures were the pure-tone average threshold (PTA) and uncomfortable loudness levels (ULL). As we can see from the factor correlation matrix below, factor 2 is too highly correlated with factors 1, 3, and 4. Mark A. Runco, in Creativity (Second Edition), 2014. Aims: To (1) evaluate the psychometric properties and (2) examine the ability to detect cases with anxiety disorder and depression in a population of employees absent from work because of mental health problems. Pearson's r and Spearman's rho are often used. The CESD-10 is a screening tool for probably clinically significant depression in the Chinese population. Categorical/nominal variables (e.g., marital status, gender) should not be included. So let’s put if for a short time into the spot-light. Concurrent validity refers to whether a test’s scores actually evaluate the test’s questions. Discriminant validity tests whether believed unrelated constructs are, in fact, unrelated. Convergent validity can be established if two similar constructs correspond with one another, while discriminant validity applies to two dissimilar constructs that are easily differentiated. Data on SF-12 MCS and the CESD-10 were extracted. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analyses were performed to examine the convergent validity of SF-12 MCS against the CESD-10 threshold for probably clinically significant depression for the younger to middle-aged, late middle-aged and older population cohorts. Considers only common variance (places communality estimates on diagonal of correlation matrix). This score could be an average or a sum, or some sort of weighted scoring. So shouldn’t I be doing a CFA instead – to confirm these expectations?” And then you would simply jump to the CFA first to refine your measurement model (but then you return to your EFA after your CFA). EFA with low communalities for some items. LoA between skinfolds to LS3D spanned 14.9% (−4.1, 10.8) for the group. What if you have discriminant validity problems - for example, the items from two theoretically different factors end up loading on the same extracted factor (instead of on separate factors). Illustrations indicate that the method On the bottom part of the figure (Observation) w… C onvergent validity and discriminant validity are commonly regarded as ways to assess the construct validity of a measurement procedure (Campbell & Fiske, 1959). This will usually resolve the issue. Would responses differ after a wild night out from what they would hav… In the table below, you should identify low values in the "Extraction" column. Based on a critical literature r… Convergent Validity The criterion of Fornell-Larcker (1981) has been commonly used to assess the degree of shared variance between the latent variables of the model. REF: Podsakoff, P.M., MacKenzie, S.B., Lee, J.Y., and Podsakoff, N.P. abstract = "Objective: To examine the convergent validity of Mental Component Scale of the Short-Form 12 (SF-12 MCS) with the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10). This page was last modified on 9 September 2020, at 12:25. Convergent validity tests that constructs that are expected to be related are, in fact, related. Do the factors make sense? Methods: Data were obtained from a household survey carried out in Hong Kong. Convergent validity is evidence of a survey's ability to positively correlate with other instruments that measure for theoretically or conceptually similar constructs.Bivariate correlation analyses are used to generate convergent validity evidence. If this is the case, then you might consider doing the EFA for this higher order factor separate from all the items belonging to first order factors. Mainly because your EFAs are nearly always going to run messy, and because you can endlessly mess around with an EFA and if you believe everything your EFA is telling you, you will end up throwing away items and constructs unnecessarily and thus you will end up letting statistics drive your theory, instead of letting theory drive your theory. Construct validity was assessed by determining the ability of the test to detect differences between different age and activity level groups.

These are established scales and I already know which items belong to which constructs (theoretically). < 0.05) indicates matrix is not an identity matrix; i.e., the variables do relate to one another enough to run a meaningful EFA. Conclusion: SF-12 is a widely adopted measure to capture the health profile of Chinese population. This option is not recommended as it is usually the last course of action to take. If we measure alcoholism in this way, it seems likely that anyone who identifies as an alcoholic would respond with a yes to the question. Software is usually invisible. An EFA should always be conducted for new datasets. 2017 Mar;21(1):209-215. doi: 10.1007/s11325-016-1406-0. Here is how you know whether you're working with formative or reflective constructs: An example of formative versus reflective constructs is given in the figure below. You can say to yourself, “Why am I doing an EFA? LoA between BIA to … We want to retain as much as possible and still be producing valid results.
