| Resumen≠ | Polytomous McDonald's omega estimates the internal consistency reliability of a scale composed of ordinal (polytomous) items — such as Likert-type responses — by computing omega from a factor model fitted to the polychoric correlation matrix rather than the Pearson correlation matrix, yielding estimates that are unbiased by the discreteness of item responses. | Confirmatory factor analysis tests a researcher-specified factor structure against observed data. Unlike exploratory approaches, the researcher decides in advance which indicators load on which latent factor, and the model is evaluated by how closely the implied covariance matrix reproduces the sample covariance matrix. CFA is central to scale validation, construct validity assessment, and measurement invariance testing. |
