“…The exploratory construct validity of the study scale Discriminate Validity Below is the Discriminate Validity using the Fornell-Larcker criterion a measure of discrimination validity that compares the square root of the rate of variance in each extracted construct with its correlations with all other constructs in the model. Therefore, we find that the items in Table (8) are the square root of the explained average variance (AVE). As a result, the model measurements showed a reasonable level of validity in distinguishing between each of the variables of the structure of the measures.…”
