Measurement model for longitudinal data

[garbers]

Hello,

I have some questions concerning the assessment of the measurement model with longitudinal data.
The situation: We used a cross-lagged full-panel model with three waves. Within each wave we measured our constructs in the same way and each wave is a predictor for the next wave. When we analyzed the full model with the three waves, our measurement model (internal consistency, convergent and discriminant validity) was not acceptable. More in detail, the CRs and AVEs were small (CR < .6; AVE < .5), and the square root of the AVE of each construct was not greater than their interconstruct correlations.

1) Has anyone similar problems with the measurement model of longitudinal data and a solution?

2) Are there special recommendations/literature for the measurement model when modeling longitudinal data with Smart PLS?

Thanks a lot and best regards,
Yvonne

Hi,

If you used secondary data for longitudinal analysis, not evaluation outer model.

Hi,

I have a similar issue with longitudinal data. Unfortunately, the link in the previous pose is not accessible anymore.

Is there any solution for that issue?

Many thanks in advance.
