Dear all,
as an absolute PLS beginner I have a basic question regarding the use of items / indicators.
In my model I’m measuring the personal development during an international assignment. I have created various scales (e.g. adjustment, flexibility) with a couple of items. Those items are measured “At the start of the assignment” and “At the moment” in order to evaluate a possible change.
I would like to know which one of the following item values should be used for the calculation of my SEM:
- Value “At the start of the assignment”
- Value “At the moment”
- Mean value ((“Start” + “At the moment”)/2)
- Development value (“At the moment”-“Start”)
Any help is much appreciated!
Cheers,
Matthias Harlfinger

values of variable
First develope constructs based on theory and find indicators as variables for each construct. That will indicate what values to use.
