A priori hypotheses had been generated to determine convergent (when moderate or strong correlation is expected) and divergent (weak correlation expected) construct validity.
Coefficients were low (<0.3) to moderate (≥0.3 to 0.5) as expected, indicating divergent validity between the individual WPS questions and the other measures considered (Table 4).
Due to the nature of the intervention, e.g. the large number of actors and associations involved, and the limited time spent at the start of the programme on building a joint understanding of the logical framework, we expected that divergent perspectives on the programme theory would emerge.
The three factors explained 83%% of the variance.> Correlations between the CARE Measure scores and patient enablement and overall satisfaction supported construct (convergent) validity in relation to overall satisfaction (Spearman's rho 0.54, p = 0.000), and as expected less (divergent) with patient enablement (Spearman's rho 0.19, p = 0.000).
The association coefficients between all WPS questions and different continuous measures assessing the disease activity, physical functioning and HRQoL, were low (<0.3) to moderate (≥0.3 to 0.5), as expected, indicating divergent validity between the individual WPS questions and the other measures considered.
Accordingly, since all subjects were stimulated with tones well above the perception threshold we didn't expect a divergent activation of these connectivities in our experiment.
Inequalities in the financial resources of nursing homes may therefore explain some of the differences in the availability of physiotherapists, but we expect that divergent management policies of the nursing homes also play a role.
In terms of refugia scenarios, an unimodal distribution of pairwise differences would be expected for shallowly divergent lineages that currently occupy previously glaciated areas, and multimodal distributions would be expected for deeply divergent lineages that currently occupy areas once suitable for glacial refugia [ 28].
Expected convergent and divergent validity were observed only for the NPDS; 3 main factors were extracted by factor analysis and explained 78% of the cumulative variance.
Among marsupials, the anomalous banded hare wallaby, Lagostrophus fasciatus, was expected to be divergent from the rufous hare wallaby, Lagorchestes hirsutus, and wallaroo, Macropus robustus, as shown by cyt b [55].
