Formative 3rd-order HCM

Post by Mailo »

Hi,

I want to measure the perceived risk in a buying situation with formative constructs and the repeated indicators approach.
Existing literature revealed the mediating role of one of the latent variables in the theoretical model. That's why I've choosen a model with three stages and a mediator variable (stage 2). But now I'm not sure if that works, when I use the repeated indicators approach but measure my mediator variable with his own formative indicators.
My questions are:
1) Is that really a third-order HCM?
2) Does that model work?

Thank you in advance!
