Hypotheses between 1st order and 2nd order construcs
Posted: Thu Oct 11, 2018 12:34 pm
Dear all,
I have a reflective-reflective model with three 2nd order variables A, B and C, and D which is a reflective construct.
My model is complex because I have hypotheses between A, B, C and D as well as hypotheses between the 1st order constrcuts of A (A1-A4) and the 2nd order construct B (Please see the attached image).
If I want to test the hypotheses between A, B, C and D, I should test the whole model. But how to test the hypotheses between A1-A4 and B?
Should I test a submodel composed only of A1-A4 directly linked to B or should I test the direct links between them within the whole model?
Thank you very much for your help.
