Second order (IV Formative DV Reflective) measurement

Post by GDAVE »

Hello,
I have a DV, which is a second order construct in reflective mode.

My IV is also a second order construct, but in the formative mode (The first order constructs of this IV are reflective)

I was wondering if I should use repeated indicator approach to model the DV and use LV approach (by running principal components analysis for the 1st order LV and using the scores as measures) .

OR
Should I use the LV approach for both constructs instead of mixing the two?

Please help

Thanks
George
