Analyses of Reliability, and Convergent and Discriminant Validity of Social Capital Subscales in Study 2

  CR AVE MSV ASV Off bridge On bridge Off bond On bond
Off bridge 0.839 0.723 0.514 0.312 0.850      
On bridge 0.802 0.670 0.456 0.312 0.554 0.819    
Off bond 0.801 0.668 0.514 0.326 0.717 0.415 0.817  
On bond 0.795 0.659 0.456 0.287 0.339 0.675 0.540 0.812

According to Hair et al.,30 CR should be >0.70 for good reliability, AVE >0.50 indicates great convergent validity, and MSV <AVE and ASV <AVE both indicate great discriminant validity. The analysis showed that all social capital scales in study 2 have excellent reliability, and convergent and discriminant validity. The numbers in the right section show the correlation scores.
