A clarification of confirmatory composite analysis (CCA)

作者:

Highlights:

• Confirmatory composite analysis (CCA) is a new structural equation modeling method.

• Theo K. Dijkstra and Jörg Henseler invented CCA, and Florian Schuberth refined it.

• In CCA, models consist of interrelated emergent variables, not latent variables.

• CCA assesses conceptual unity, i.e. whether composites act as emergent variables.

• Beware of Hair et al. (2020), who use the term "CCA" differently.
