Composite Reliability Values

Hello,

I have a question concerning the values for composite reliability.
When I calculate them with AMOS or PLS, the values are for each construct above 0.8, however with Smart PLS the values are a bit strange, like 1.115 or 1.029 (also when I use factor weighting scheme). What could be the reason for this? And how can I get "normal" values (that are lower than 1)?

Another question concerns the loadings, weights and path coefficients. Very often they are >1. What is the reason for this and how can I reduce them.

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards
Verena

Dear Verena,

it seems for me that you work with original values. You could change to the standardized values in the standard settings.

Did you check this?

Best regards,

Christian

Dear Christian,

many thanks for your answer. Where can I change to standardized values?

Dear Verena,

you can change the data metric after you have click the symbol for the calculation of the PLS algorithm (at the top the symbol for the ‘rack-wheel’). There you find a drop down menu ‘data metric’. Now you can change to standardized values (mean 0; var 1) ;-)

Best regards

Christian
