van de Schoot, Rens; Hoijtink, Herbert; Dekovic, Maja – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
Researchers often have expectations that can be expressed in the form of inequality constraints among the parameters of a structural equation model. It is currently not possible to test these so-called informative hypotheses in structural equation modeling software. We offer a solution to this problem using M"plus." The hypotheses are…

We hypothesized that (a) linkages between high levels of daily Internet use and low well-being would be mediated by compulsive Internet use (CIU), and (b) that adolescents with low levels of…
