摘要

本研究有兩個主要的目的：(1)比較一般驗證性因素分析、相關誤差模式、直接乘積模式在分析多項特質多項方法矩陣的相對優劣，(2)比較這些方法在評判幅合效度與區別效度的一致性。根據適合度與不適合參數數量的標準，相關誤差模式的表現最好，而一般驗證性因素分析雖使用三種模式，其表現卻是最差的；區別效度的程度在方法之間的一致性高於幅合效度。因為相關誤差模式與多數資料的適合度良好，違反方法零相關對參數估計的影響，值得進一步研究。

The purposes of this study were twofold: (a) to examine the relative performance of general CFA models, correlated uniqueness model and composite direct product models to the analysis of MTMM data in educational and psychological research, and (b) to investigate the concordance of evidence associated with convergent and discriminant validity provided by these models. Based on goodness of fit and ,number of improper parameter estimates, performance of the correlated uniqueness model was the most successful. Although three alternative models were used, the performance of CFA models was the worst. As for the concordance of convergent and discriminant validity, the agreement for discriminant validity was stronger than that for convergent validity. Since the correlated uniqueness model fits most of the data, the effect of violating zero method correlation assumption on parameter estimates should be examined in future research.
