procedureHair et al. (2020) developed a strategy for reflective scales where items with factor loadings between 0.40 and 0.70 should be excluded from assessment if their removal increases the Average Variance Extracted (AVE) and composite reliability values.

accountIn the study on parental style, items PS 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 16 were deleted to increase the Average Variance Extracted (AVE) values.

claimHair et al. (2020) established that a variable's convergent validity is accepted if the Average Variance Extracted (AVE) value is greater than 0.5 and both the Composite Reliability (CR) and Cronbach’s Alpha are greater than 0.6.

claimHananto and Srinivasan (2024) and Pratama (2024) validated construct validity using Cronbach’s alpha, composite reliability, and average variance extracted (AVE) to demonstrate the robustness and methodological consistency of the measurement model.

formulaThe Fornell and Larcker criterion states that the square root of the Average Variance Extracted (AVE) of a latent variable must be greater than its correlation coefficient with other latent variables to satisfy the criterion, as cited by Rasoolimanesh (2022).

claimAverage variance extracted (AVE) is an indicator that determines the extent to which latent factors can explain their measurement results, where a value above 0.5 indicates that the latent factor explains greater than half of the observed variance with minimum interference from measurement errors.
