Hi at all,
in my model there are just direct effects and interaction effects between formative constructs - so calculated by factor approach not by smartpls indicator approach. Problem: why do the t-values for path coefficiants and total effects differ? should be the same then, shouldn´t? and which ones to take for significance report: path or total?
thanks, simone

Hi,
you are right, the results should be exactly the same if you use no sign change option! Whenever, a sign change option is used, the result differ.
Best regards

hi christian,
thx for your immediate reply! i used sign change option (construct level) - just because of a feeling ;-) i´m still waiting for the recommended article to answer the questions about the three options :-) was not available in muenster, so maybe that´s why i´m wondering about the differences. in case of using construct level changes: use t-values for path coeff then for significances? although total seems to produce more significances...
sorry for bothering without having read the article!

Hi Simone,
in WISU 2/2007, I recommend to use individual sign changes - makes most sense to me. However, we added the total value bootstrapping without using it for an application. Your comment is very helpful because it make me aware that we may compute these values without accounting for the selected sign change option. I check this issue.
