Because the construct mediates the effects of its indicators, the indicators must have effects on the outcomes that are proportional to their effects on theformative construct itself. This constraint has important implications for developing and testing formative models. This study demonstrates the existence of the constraint, shows that researchers must consider proportionality as a criterion for evaluating the formative conceptualization,provides examples of indicators having different effects and interpretations depending on the outcome variables used, discusses the selection of outcomes to provide rigorous rather than trivial tests of the formative conceptualization, and contends that the formative nature of constructscannot be justified in isolation from the consideration of outcome variables. In addition, the study demonstrates the importance of considering how the scaling of the formative construct influences the significance of the effects in the model. http://hdl.handle.net/1808/4097 Title: Growing up black in America : where my interest in prejudice came from<br/><br/>Authors: Jones, James M.<br/><br/>Editors: Book chapter http://hdl.handle.net/1808/4096 Title: I Accidentally Became a Prejudice Researcher<br/><br/>Authors: Crandall, Chris<br/><br/>Editors: Book chapter<br/><br/>Description: autobiographical essay accompanying Chapter 11 http://hdl.handle.net/1808/4095 Title: The justification-suppression model of prejudice : an approach to the history of prejudice research<br/><br/>Authors: Crandall, Christian S.; Eshleman, Amy<br/><br/>Editors: Book chapter
