Construct validation of a measure of adaptive-innovative cognitive styles in consumption
Article Abstract:
The Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory, a method used to measure variances in cognitive styles related to innovation and creativity, is evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis. A model is developed using a sample of 151 female food purchasers and 150 male computer owners. Results show some of the method's various properties, such as discriminant validity of across and between measures of factors, concurrent validity and convergent validity.
