          Abstract

          RESUMO A variância média extraída (VME) e a confiabilidade composta (CC) são indicadores associados à qualidade de uma medida. No entanto, é necessário compreender adequadamente a dinâmica dos cálculos da VME e da CC, bem como as suas relações com os conceitos de validade e precisão para evitar equívocos na interpretação dos seus resultados. No presente artigo, ilustramos, por meio de modelos unifatoriais simulados, como o número de itens e a homogeneidade das cargas fatoriais impactam os valores da VME e da CC. Assim, problematizamos a utilização de pontos de cortes fixos para esses indicadores. Além disso, apresentamos argumentos endossando a VME como uma medida de precisão, e não de validade convergente.

          ABSTRACT The average variance extracted (AVE) and the composite reliability coefficients (CR) are related to the quality of a measure. Meanwhile, in order to avoid misconceptions, it is required to properly comprehend the equations of the AVE and CR, as well as their relation with the definition of validity and reliability. In this paper, we illustrate, using simulated one-factor models, how the number of items and the homogeneity of factor loadings might influence the AVE and CR results. In so doing, we show that the use of fixed AVE and CR cutoffs is problematic. Moreover, we present reasons endorsing the use of the AVE as a reliability coefficient, instead of a convergent validity index.
