Correct option is B
The Multitrait-Multimethod (MTMM) matrix, developed by Campbell and Fiske (1959), is a statistical technique used to assess construct validity in psychological research.
Statement A is correct: The MTMM design investigates construct validity by measuring multiple traits using multiple methods to determine whether the measures accurately reflect the constructs they intend to assess.
Statement C is correct: The MTMM approach is associated with Campbell and Fiske, who introduced this framework to evaluate the validity of psychological tests.
Information Booster:
The MTMM Matrix is used in psychology, education, and social sciences to assess the validity of measurement instruments.
Key Components:
- Convergent Validity: Measures of the same trait using different methods should correlate highly.
- Discriminant Validity: Measures of different traits should show low correlation.
- Method Bias Check: Helps determine if the method influences measurement results.
- Reliability Testing: Ensures consistency of measurements.

-Composite Reliability (D - Incorrect): A measure used in structural equation modeling (SEM).
