This transmutability of the validation matrix argues for the comparisons within the heteromethod block as the most generally relevant validation data, and illustrates the potential interchangeability of trait and method components.

The 3 studies presented in this article suggest that the evidence that purportedly shows the independence of seemingly opposite mood states, that is, low correlations between positive and negative moods, may be the result of failures to consider biases due to random and nonrandom response error.

This approach is used in five specific situations: where one is testing for spuriousness or interpreting by means of intervening variables; (2) where independent variables are highly correlated; (3) where there is a developmental sequence; (4) in factor analyses; and (5) where interaction might be inferred.
