Method evidence record

Longitudinal McDonald's omega

Longitudinal McDonald's omega estimates scale reliability separately at each measurement occasion in a panel or repeated-measures study. By fitting a confirmatory factor model at each wave, it tracks how consistently a set of items measures its target construct over time, detecting erosion or improvement in measurement quality that a single omnibus reliability coefficient would obscure.
