Two experiments, using two separate samples and two methods of analysis (Hotelling's T2 and hierarchial regression), ruled out the cue-order threat to the internal validity of a decision-modeling instrument. Implications for measurement are discussed. Caution is suggested in generalizing to other populations and other instruments, despite the apparent robustness of the method of decision modeling.
