A Note on the Occurrence of the Illusory Between-Person Component in the Random Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel Model
Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, v32 n1 p36-45 2025
The random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RICLPM) decomposes longitudinal associations between two processes X and Y into stable between-person associations and temporal within-person changes. In a recent study, Bailey et al. demonstrated through a simulation study that the between-person variance components in the RICLPM can occur only due to the presence of time-varying covariate processes that are omitted from the analysis model. Therefore, the between-person component was termed illusory. In this article, necessary and sufficient conditions for the occurrence of such illusory between-person components in an RICLPM are analytically derived and systematically investigated in a simulation study.
