Hi, I would appreciate your help with this term.

The document is about attitude towards mobile advertising.

Context:
"Para evaluar la validez discriminante, se ha recurrido al único criterio que es aplicable en la estimación mediante PLS, que es aquel que sugiere que la varianza promedio extraída para cada factor debe ser superior al cuadrado de la correlación entre cada par de factores (Fornell & Larcker, 1981), tal y cómo se indica en la Tabla 2.
Asimismo, con objeto de valorar la capacidad predictiva del modelo estructu-ral, se ha seguido el criterio planteado por Falk & Miller (1992) de que los R2 de cada ****constructo dependiente **** debe ser superior al valor 0,1. En la Tabla 3 aparecen los valores correspondientes así como el resultado del contraste del modelo plan-teado en la Figura 1.

Thanks

Robert

dependent construct

It looks to me as though your author has generally calqued the terms from his/her EN sources, and this is another one; Falk and Miller refer to "dependent constructs":

"Rather, the size of the R-square of the dependent constructs and the significance of the paths are used to evaluate the structural model. [...]
In this instance, the variables were constructs and the impact was assessed by the explained variance in the dependent construct which should be above 0.1 (Falk & Miller, 1992)."

"The first structural model reflects the internal IT staffing strategy, direct acquisition (ssAQ) as the dependent construct. [...] Falk & Miller (1992) argue that an R2 value of at least .10 is acceptable."
