Abstract In this paper we assess reliability and validity of egocentered network data using the multitraitmultimethod approach. The confirmatory factor analysis model for multitrait-multimethod data (Werts & Linn, 1970; Andrews, 1984) is used with this purpose. We consider egocentered network data as hierarchical; therefore a multilevel analysis is required (Muth´en, 1989, Hox, 1993). We use Muth´en’s partial maximum likelihood approach, called pseudobalanced solution (Muth´en, 1989, 1990, 1994) which produces estimations close to maximum likelihood for large ego sample sizes (Hox & Mass, 2001). This approach provides reliability and validity estimates at both the group and individual levels, and other interpretable decompositions of indicator variance. Data come from an experimental design using web surveys in which 4 countries used the same questionnaire systematically varying the question format (all labelled categories in response scales versus only end labels, question order by alters versus by questions, plain text web design downloading fast versus fancy design with images downloading more slowly). The contribution of each of these factors to reliability and validity is obtained by means of a meta analysis.
