Validity and reliability | Criteria | References |
|---|---|---|
Construct validity | Loadings ≥ .70 | Gerbing and Anderson (1988); Hair et al. (2012); Nunnally (1978) |
Internal consistency | Cronbach Alpha > .70 Composite reliability > .70 | Hair et al. (2017) |
Convergent validity | Average variance extracted > .50 | |
Discriminant validity | The square roots of the AVE > any other correlation between the constructs | Fornell and Larcker (1981) |
