SEM with SmartPLS

Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) examines a series of multiple regression equations

• True

• False

_______________is also called internal consistency which should be 0.7 or higher.

• Convergent validity

• Discriminant validity

• Indicator reliability

• Composite reliability

______________is like independent variables in SEM and it is not caused or affected by any other latent variable

• Direct Variable

• Endogeneous Variable

• Known variable

• Exogenous variable

Internal consistency is not necessarily tested for reflective indicators

• True

• False

If the structural model is complex with many constructs and indicators, we choose PLS-SEM instead of CB-SEM

• True

• False

For Structural Model, the minimum criteria for factor loading is:

• 01

• 0.5

• 0.7

• 0.9

Direction of causality is from construct to measure item in:

• Formative

• Reflective

Relationships between the constructs is represented by:

• Structural model

• Measurement model

• Latent model

• None of these

What ensures distinct and uncorrelated latent variables?

• Convergent validity

• Discriminant validity

• Indicator reliability

• Composite reliability

_______________is also called Average Variance Extracted (AVE) which should be 0.5 or higher.

• Convergent Validity

• Discriminant validity

• Indicator reliability

• Composite reliability
