Estimating Trait, Method, and Error Variance: Generalizing across 70 Construct Validation Studies

Year: 1987

Type: article

Abstract: The authors examine the construct validation results of 70 published data sets. The analysis shows that, on average, traits account for less than 50% of the variance in construct measures. These findings raise questions about the application of statistical techniques that assume minimal measurement error or do not properly model systematic measurement error.
