A higher-order life crafting scale validation using PLS-CCA: the Italian version

In: Behaviormetrika, Band 51, Heft 1, S. 359-387

Abstract

AbstractIn this study, we highlight Life Crafting Scale (LCS) factor structure and model specifications by using partial least squares structural equations modelling (PLS-SEM) and confirmatory composite analysis (CCA), with a sample of Italian students ($$n=953$$

n
=
953

). From the validation results obtained through PLS-CCA, we identify the emergence of both the reflective nature of the scores of the LCS subscale and an alternative measurement model of the LCS scores as a second-order reflective–reflective model.
