SPEAKER: Dr. Jonathan Helm Campbell and Fiske's (1959) separation of trait, method, and unique variance across a set of multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) manifest variables directly translates to a confirmatory factor model, and several reports support this approach for partitioning variance (Cole, 1987; Widaman, 1985; Schmitt & Stults, 1986). However, researchers selecting this approach often encounter estimation problems (i.e., failed convergence or solutions with out-of-bounds estimates; Widaman, 1985). Mathematical investigations have identified several potential sources of these problems (Kenny & Kashy, 1992;…
