Dear advanced user.....

I have completed my thesis hearing, and I got an A. .. I am very grateful to this forum...

But there are revisions to be completed. There is a latent variable whose structure changes from formative to be reflective. I want to ask about what data validity test should be done for formative and reflective prior to significant test on inner models. thank you for your assistance will be very useful for the completion of my thesis revisions .... God bless you
just try to find best method to analyze my final task,,,,

For reflective LV you can do validity test by looking at the loading for each indicator, its value should be 0.70. For formative LV just look at t test for each indicator whether significant or not. If its significant then your indicator is valid.
