Which of the following is NOT a requirement set forth by Campbell and Fiske (1959) for establishing construct validity using the MTMMM?
A) Establishing convergent validity across measurement methods
B) Statistically significant monotrait-heteromethod values
C) Higher values in monotrait-heteromethod triangles than in heterotrait-monomethod triangles
D) Patterns of trait correlations are the same in monomethod and heteromethod blocks
E) Heterotrait-heteromethod values exceed heterotrait-monomethod values

Campbell and Fiske's criteria for establishing construct validity using the Multitrait-Multimethod Matrix (MTMMM) include establishing convergent validity (A), ensuring statistically significant monotrait-heteromethod correlations (B), ensuring higher correlations in monotrait-heteromethod triangles than in heterotrait-monomethod triangles (C), and maintaining consistent patterns of trait correlations across monomethod and heteromethod blocks (D). The incorrect statement (E) contradicts the principle that heterotrait-heteromethod correlations should generally be lower than monotrait correlations, reflecting distinct constructs measured across different methods.
