Rp. Bagozzi et al., Representation of measurement error in marketing variables: Review of approaches and extension to three-facet designs, J ECONOMET, 89(1-2), 1999, pp. 393-421
This paper explores approaches for modeling measurement error in marketing
research, including random, method and measure specific sources of error. T
he following approaches are considered: classic confirmatory factor analysi
s, second-order models, panel models, additive trait-method models, correla
ted uniqueness models, covariance components analysis, additive trait-metho
d-measure specific-error models, and the direct product model, where traits
and methods interact. Finally, a three-facet multiplicative model is addre
ssed wherein latent variables underlying a phenomenon under investigation a
re shown to interact with multiple methods and occasions of measurement. Th
e three-facet model is illustrated on a study of consumer attitudes toward
losing weight explicitly conducted for this paper. (C) 1999 Elsevier Scienc
