Description¶
The trifactor model is a structural equation modeling approach developed by Bauer et al. (2013) for settings where a construct is rated by multiple raters. According to the article, it was developed "to provide applied researchers with a straightforward way of estimating scores that are purged of variance that is idiosyncratic by rater," addressing problems of rater disagreement while aiming to remain usable and interpretable.
