Este estudio metodológico tiene como objetivo revisar los puntos de corte estipulados para la Varianza Media Extraída (VME) cuando se usa para establecer la validez convergente de un modelo de medida. Por una parte, se consideró la gran semejanza entre los conceptos de validez convergente y confiabilidad por consistencia interna, al usarse los pesos de medida estandarizados para su estimación. Por otra parte, se analizó la relación entre el número de ítems del factor, la VME y los coeficientes omega y H. A efectos de simplificación, se manejó un peso de medida homogéneo en las demostraciones. Se observó un efecto muy grande del número de ítems, provocando un deterioro en la VME, aun manteniendo constante el mismo nivel de confiabilidad (coeficientes omega y H), y más acusado a mayor nivel de confiabilidad. Se concluye que valores de VME &lt; .50 pueden reflejar niveles aceptables de validez convergente, dependiendo del número de ítems, si incluyen como criterios complementarios: pesos de medida estandarizados &#8805; .50 y coeficientes omega y H &#8805; .70.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract In the context of the structural equation modeling, the concepts of convergent validity and composite reliability applied to the measurement models with congeneric items are used. This methodological study aims to review the stipulated cut-off points for the Extracted Average Variance (AVE) when it is used to establish the convergent validity of a measurement model. On the one hand, the great similarity between the concepts of convergent validity and internal consistency reliability, when standardized measurement weights are used for their estimation, was considered. On the other hand, the relationships among the number of factor items, the AVE and the omega and H coefficients were analyzed. For simplification purposes, a homogeneous measurement weight was used in the demonstrations. A very large effect of the number of items was observed, causing a deterioration in the AVE, while still maintaining the same level of reliability (omega and H coefficients), and more pronounced at a higher level of reliability. It is concluded that AVE values &lt; .50 may reflect acceptable levels of convergent validity depending on the number of items, if the following criteria are included as complementary criteria: standardized measurement weights &#8805; .50, and coefficients omega and H &#8805; .70.]]></p></abstract>
