Evaluates the validity of the observational method used to test multiplicative combination rules with respect to 2 measurement issues: measurement level (ie, the effects produced by allowing monotonic transformations of the measures) and measurement error (ie, the effects produced by using unreliable measures of the causal variables). The evaluation is based on a theoretical distinction between the structural model (the set of equations relating theoretical constructs to each other) and the measurement model (the set of equations relating the theoretical constructs to the observed measures). It is concluded that hierarchical regression analysis is inadequate for determining whether the structural model is additive or multiplicative for 2 reasons: First, an additive structural model may produce multiplicative effects through a nonlinear measurement model. Second, a multiplicative structural model may produce nondetectable multiplicative effects because of multiplicative measurement error. Some alternatives to hierarchical regression analysis are described.(35 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
