A Cross-Classified CFA-MTMM Model for Structurally Different and Nonindependent Interchangeable Methods

Multirater (multimethod, multisource) studies are increasingly applied in psychology. Eid and colleagues (2008) proposed a multilevel confirmatory factor model for multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) data combining structurally different and multiple independent interchangeable methods (raters).
