Model 4, the final model, allows the trait factors to correlate freely while the method factors are constrained to be perfectly correlated with each other.

The loadings for each method factor were constrained equal under the assumption that a method effect should exert a relatively equal influence on all items, but also in order to maximize degrees of freedom given the medium sample size.

In response to the comments of Reviewer-2 (Professor Mulaik), we attempted to check whether the progressive methods factors were necessarily independent of the corresponding true NK activity factors, by freeing the corresponding covariances (which were constrained to be equal).

The variances of the two methods factors were constrained to be equal because the procedural similarity in the measurement series initially led us to suspect that routine within-series laboratory variations might propagate proportionally.
