and the construct validity (Hair et al.‚ 2010). A measurement theory refers to a set of theoretical‚ systematic‚ and logical assumptions that suggests path between underlying constructs and items. The construct validity is the fundamental requirement for testing the theory further (Carmines and Zeller‚ 1979; Steenkamp and Trijp‚ 1991). Hence‚ confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is used as a standard measurement of construct validity to make sure that the theoretical meaning of a construct is empirically

However‚ inclusion of at least five experts in that field” (Burns‚ N.‚ & Grove‚ S.K. 1993) or “five to ten experts would be useful to judge the content domains of a scale through use of rating scales” (Wilson‚ H.S. 1989)
