Re: [HELP!!!!!] PLS and IPA matrix

Sorry for the late response. But the need some clarification here to better address the issues. Does the author ask you not to use PLS-SEM? In that case you need to make a basic decision whether you follow the reviewer or rather defend your method choice. You may find the responses in this topic use...

Re: PLS and PLSc for reflective model

If you use composite models, you may just want to use PLS; also PLSc can be used to estimate a model that uses both common factor models and composite models. For the decision, which proxy you would use for a latent variable (composite or common factor), you may find this article useful: http://www....

Re: Blank T Statistics (|O/STERR|)

For zero values of the total effect there is no t-value (which would equal 0 divided by the standard error). Also, the values may be very small. Click on the hide/show zero values button in the menu bar.

Re: Interpretation Problems

Two quick thought: (1) When comparing groups, you may want to address measurement invariance. (2) When comparing multiple groups, you may want to adjust for multiple testing. You find some additional info about these points in the advanced book on PLS-SEM by Hair et al. (2018), which may be availabl...

Re: Dealing with Misspecfication of Formative Variables

Thanks. Often the factor model view of CB-SEM is transferred to the composite-based PLS-SEM method. A good start to respond to the reviewer may be that you are looking into composites as proxies of the conceptual variables of interest, which technically do not involve the concerns raised by the revi...

Re: P Value in Confirmatory Tetrad Analysis (CTA)

Well, all cut-off values and rules of thumb are arbitrary. We selected 10%, which certainly is more liberal than 5%, since we use the Bonferroni correction to account for the multiple testing problem. The Bonferroni correction reduces the probability of error depending on the number of simultaneous ...

Re: Level of analysis question

Thanks. I cannot really comment on this. PLS-SEM only uses the full set of data for the model estimation. It is possible to run a moderator or multigroup analysis to account for observed heterogeneity. Also, you can use the latent variable scores (if you run the IPMA, you get the unstandardized late...

Re: Multiple DVs: estimate jointly or independently?

Yes, definitely. The context and thus the LV scores of A changes in Model 1 and Model 2. As a result, the coefficients are different. You are looking in completely different models.
