Second order construct

Post by bsripirabaa »

Read that II order constructs works best with equal number of indicators in the first order LV. But do not have equal number of indicators in I order LV. How about the results? Any discrepency expected?
Further my Reliability values are between 0.8 and 0.9. But validity from 0.4 to 0.6. Is there any hard and fast rule that AVE should be 0.5 and Reliability O.7. In Australia they accept AVE > 0.4 and Relaibility > 0.6.
Which one am i to adopt. Kindly help.
