“…In addition to the traditional approach, this study used the second-smallest positive correlation among the manifest variables as a conservative estimate of CMB. As this method is not based on particular measurement theories, it has been used recently by researchers (Durcikova, Lee, & Brown, 2018;Leonidou, Christodoulides, Kyrgidou, & Palihawadana, 2017;Yang, Sun, Zhang, & Wang, 2019). In this study, the second-smallest positive correlation was 0.005, which was used to adjust the correlations among all manifest variables in the research model.…”
