How to test the Convergent Validity and Discriminant Validity of SEM Model?

How to test the Convergent Validity and Discriminant Validity of the SEM Model?
In this video, I have explained how to conduct Construct validity for the Measurement Model in the Structural Equation Model.
The construct validity is two types 1. Convergent validity 2. Discriminant validity
Convergent validity:
measures of constructs that theoretically should be related to each other are, in fact, observed to be related to each other
Discriminant Validity:
measures of constructs that theoretically should not be related to each other are, in fact, observed to not be related to each other

Easiest explanation of construct validity found on KZbin 👍🙏

[@mehwishhussain28]

I spent a months to understand how to determine convergent and discriminant validity using CFA. Thanks God, at-last your presentation comes up on Google Search. Thank you so much for such a simple and comprehensive video.

[@glambysherry]

I have never seen a video more informative than this. I learnt a lot today. Thanks

[@kafkaOTS]

Very helpful. Thanks. For those who use Stata, there is an ado file named condisc that you download. It runs all these calculations for you. After you download the ado file, just run the command condisc after your CFA.

Thank you so much for the very useful and explicit video.

Wonderful explanation....i noticed that you took just 2 items (indicators) of Customer satisfaction. Kindly provide some citations to use 2 indicators for a latent variable in Amos. I need it for one of my paper on scale development. Thank you

[@omerashahnawaz6933]

is congeneric model also called measurement model?

[@sukyungseo5985]

Thank you for your informative video. What if there is a discriminant validity violation (AVE is less than construct squared correlations)?. I heard that considering internal confidence interval is also important to decide whether there really is a discriminant issue. In that case. How do we find confidence interval in Amons??

very useful video sir. also need help for MSV and ASV

Dear Pr Kumar, would you have any theoretical reference to quote when performing this technique ? Thanks !

[@osamaalhady9233]

You are the best sir. I really benefit from your videos. may I ask about another method to figure out the construct validity by combining some latent factors then comparing between their fit index? like: Seven-factor model Six-factor model five-factor model four-factor model ... etc, then comparing between their fit index I don't know the name of this idea. I need to know it and apply it to my paper, please anyone knows about it?

What is MVE values?

[@shrestha6452]

Thank you for sharing such a useful video, sir. What to do when AVE is not greater than 0.5 and DV is not greater than the correlation between the latent variables? Does it indicate that the calculated model is not fit to do further analysis?

[@gnsatishkumar1]

It means that they don't have the required validity and can not be considered in the model.

[@shrestha6452]

@@gnsatishkumar1 okay thank you sir

[@motasemthneibat1199]

If the composite reliability is greater than 0.6 and AVE is below 0.5 and greater than 0.4 then this is acceptable according to Fornell and Larcker if AVE is less than 0.5, but composite reliability is higher than 0.6, the convergent validity of the construct is still adequate (Fornell & Larcker, 1981). This is another paper you can refer to Lam, L. W. (2012). Impact of competitiveness on salespeople's commitment and performance. Journal of Business Research, 65(9), 1328-1334.

Sir, can you please tell how to do validity check for latent variables with many constucts

[@vivianroth7829]

Dear My Easy Statistics, I have a question. I have established a model with good model fit, good discriminant validity, but unfortunately for 2 variables, AVE is not above 0.5, but slighly below (so from what I understand it does not fulfill convergent validity). How bad is that? Can I still continue with that (if there are no real other options)? Best wishes, Vivian

[@kossonouprunelle7576]

PLEASE, Is exploratory factor analysis the same as convergent and discriminant validity? I am a little bit confused. Thanks in advance for your reply. Should we do both convergent and discriminant validity, construct validity using EFA in one study?

[@MyEasyStatistics]

EFA and convergent , Discriminant validity are different. First do EFA and later do validity tests

[@kossonouprunelle7576]

@@MyEasyStatistics Thanks for your reply. I am using SPSS software. Do you mean first doing EFA using dimension reduction command on spss. please what do you mean by validity test? I tought that EFA is use for the validity test

[@sumitsangwan8661]

Sir, when to check it (CV, DV), before testing model fit or after establishing relation between residuals for model fit, as before and after there is a change in standardized estimate values.

[@MyEasyStatistics]

You can do Validity of model after model fit

[@amitavenkatesh5946]

Sir my ave value for two constructs is 0.478 and 0.495 and composite reliability is more than 0.85 can we consider this in our thesis

[@MyEasyStatistics]

AVE must be greater than 0.5 . So, we cannot consider this in the thesis

Why is "determine" pronounced as "deter mind" instead of "deter min?"
