Linking Theory Construction and Theory Testing: Models with Multiple Indicators of Latent Variables

An overview of a methodological paradigm that enhances the integration of theory construction and theory testing is presented. This paper discusses the conceptual advantages of that paradigm and provides an illustration of its use in both exploratory and confirmatory phases of research.
