How to test reliability and validity using R?

30 June 2016 1 8K Report

I am confused with the relibility and validity tesing when I am using lavaan to conduct SEM. I can not find functions to caculate some inportant indicators, such as AVE, discriminant validity.

coud some give me a guideline to understand all kind of reliability and validity indicators?

and then, how can I obtain them using R?

Thank you very much!

Hi,

i think the best option is to look by the webpage Timo posted here. There is also a series ov video on youtibe by James Gaskin. He expleins it very weill and shows how to apply mehtods!

Important: in his new tool he avoided AVE and switched to Max. H reliability measure.

Best,

Eugene
