Discriminant Validity using the Fornell Larcker & HTMT
Posted: Sun Nov 26, 2017 12:28 am
Hi,
For my model, the CR and AVE has been established. However, for discriminant validity test using the Fornell Larcker criterion gives below results:
A B C D E F
A 0.781
B 0.485 0.757
C 0.692 0.53 0.738
D 0.656 0.454 0.792 0.714
E 0.546 0.63 0.609 0.493 0.716
F 0.662 0.56 0.67 0.567 0.542 0.749
C is my mediator. D is my dependent variable (2nd order construct). AVE square root for C and D is slightly lower than the correlation value in RED. How do I interpret this? Discriminant validity achieved or not?
For HTMT, ONLY two of the values are slightly above 0.85. Is this still ok? Can I report that discriminant validity is achieved? Can someone please advise me. I am totally new to SmartPLS and I am lost. Thanks.
