Campbell and Fiske's criteria for establishing construct validity using the Multitrait-Multimethod Matrix (MTMMM) include establishing convergent validity across different methods, ensuring statistically significant monotrait-heteromethod correlations, and expecting higher correlations within monotrait-heteromethod triangles than in heterotrait-monomethod triangles, as well as consistent patterns of trait correlations across different methods. However, they did not stipulate that heterotrait-heteromethod correlations should exceed heterotrait-monomethod correlations; in fact, the expectation is generally the opposite, as heterotrait-heteromethod correlations are expected to be lower due to the different traits and methods involved.
