Abstract A method is outlined for evaluating the reliability and criterion validity of weighted scales based on sets of unidimensional measures. The approach is developed within the framework of latent variable modeling methodology and is useful for point and interval estimation of these measurement quality coefficients in counseling and education research.
AbstractList A method is outlined for evaluating the reliability and criterion validity of weighted scales based on sets of unidimensional measures. The approach is developed within the framework of latent variable modeling methodology and is useful for point and interval estimation of these measurement quality coefficients in counseling and education research. Mplus Code for Evaluation of Maximal Reliability and Maximal Criterion Validity is appended.
A method is outlined for evaluating the reliability and criterion validity of weighted scales based on sets of unidimensional measures. The approach is developed within the framework of latent variable modeling methodology and is useful for point and interval estimation of these measurement quality coefficients in counseling and education research.
Indeed, pursuing maximal reliability leads to a measuring instrument that yields least relative error variance and thus best differentiation among examined subjects along a studied dimension, whereas pursuing maximal criterion validity furnishes a scale that is most predictive of a given reference variable.
