A comparison between different ways to assess demands-abilities fit in higher education: Empirical results and recommendations for research practice.

Researchers studying person-environment fit can choose between various measurement approaches. Even though these measures are distinctly different, they often get used interchangeably, which makes interpreting the results of person-environment fit studies difficult. In the present article, we contrast the most commonly used measurement approaches for person-environment fit in higher education and compare them in terms of explained variance.

Assessing Distinctiveness in Multidimensional Instruments Without Access to Raw Data - A Manifest Fornell-Larcker Criterion.

The assessment of an instrument's conceptual framework as prerequisite for conducting further analyses has been advocated for decades. Multidimensional instruments posit several components that are each expected to be homogeneous but distinct from each other. However, validity evidence supporting the proposed internal structure is often missing.
