128. The term composition is used differently by many authors. For Chan (1998) a compositional model is one of several specifications of a functional relationship among phenomena or constructs at different levels of analysis. For Kozlowski and Kline (2000) and Bliese (2000), composition refers to conceptual isomorphism between individual and team levels. Finally, Raudenbush and Bryk’s (2002) definition of a compositional model differs from when composition is used to express the configuration of member attributes in a team (e.g., Bell, 2007). In Raudenbush and Bryk’s lexicon, composition models test a narrow and specific form of relationship across levels.
129. We believe the very significant challenge of developing a 2-language X 7-version X 30-item matrix at the onset outweighs the disadvantages of developing ‘independent’ versions over time. This processes enabled us to maintain the same meaning across language and parallel versions, while avoiding vocabulary, formulations, syntax, and grammar problems that would render versions dissimilar and would require retrofitting in later studies.
