Ghisletta, Paolo; McArdle, John J. – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
In recent years the use of the latent curve model (LCM) among researchers in social sciences has increased noticeably, probably thanks to contemporary software developments and the availability of specialized literature. Extensions of the LCM, like the the latent change score model (LCSM), have also increased in popularity. At the same time, the R…

Crayen, Claudia; Geiser, Christian; Scheithauer, Herbert; Eid, Michael – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
In many intervention and evaluation studies, outcome variables are assessed using a multimethod approach comparing multiple groups over time. In this article, we show how evaluation data obtained from a complex multitrait-multimethod-multioccasion-multigroup design can be analyzed with structural equation models. In particular, we show how the…

Silven, Maarit; Poskiparta, Elisa; Niemi, Pekka; Voeten, Marinus – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2007
The course of language acquisition from infancy to public primary school was followed in a sample of 56 Finnish children to examine precursors to reading at first grade. Structural equation modeling of continuity suggested effects from growth in early vocabulary to mastery of inflectional forms at preschool age. The early language directly…
