Cross loading in smart pls 3
Posted: Sun Feb 16, 2020 10:06 am
hi
I'm using smart PLS 3 for my research work , i'm now assessing the outer model , and when I do the cross loading all things are allright horizontally but vertically an item (adoption1) of a latent variable (adoption) loads high on another latent variable (intention) than its first item (intention1) does .
So please would you mind tell me if does this affect discriminant validity ?
or I just have to focus on the horizontal comparison?
I need your advice Dr. Jan-Michael Becker,
thank you in advance
PS:
a sheet of this case is attached below
