Correlated Factors Modeling (CFM) is proposed as an alternative to LISREL and similar methods of estimating structural equations. CFM employs weak mathematics and is appropriate for a rapid, preliminary look at a model. The factors produced by CFM are exact linear components of their indicator variates. (Author/GDC)

Lohmoeller, Jan-Bernd – 1982
Latent Variables Path (LVP) models have been found to be a helpful device for the formulation and validation of complex theories in educational sciences. The estimation of parameters for LVP models can use the Maximum Likelihood (ML) or the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method. This paper focusses on the PLS method introduced by H. Wold, and…

Peer reviewedSong, In-Sub; Hattie, John – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1984
Structural equation modeling was used to investigate the relation between home environment, self-concept, and academic achievement. It was found and cross-validated over four samples of 2,297 Korean adolescents that self-concept is a mediating variable between home environment and academic achievement. (Author/BS)

Peer reviewedMarsh, Herbert W. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1984
Using 559 fifth graders, measures were collected to assess multiple dimensions of academic self-attribution, self-concept, and inferred self-concept, and academic achievement. The specificity and predictability of the observed patterns of relations support the construct validity of interpretations based on both the self-attribution and…

Peer reviewedTorneus, Margit – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1984
The causal relationship between metaphonological skills (sound blending and segmentation) and reading/spelling was investigated in two studies of first graders. One tested causal models using data from a longitudinal study of 46 dyslexics and 44 control children. The other studied the effects of metaphonological training versus general language…

Noonan, Richard; Wold, Herman – Evaluation in Education: An International Review Series, 1983
Tries to develop a method for empirical evaluations of the impact of a school system on measurable cognitive and affective outcomes in students. Concentrates on the Partial Least Squares (PLS) methodology, and illustrates the potential of PLS for system analysis. (BW)

Marsh and Parker (1984) described the big-fish-little-pond effect (BFLPE) whereby equally able students have lower academic self-concepts in high-ability schools than in low-ability schools. The present investigation, a reanalysis of the Youth in Transition data, supported the generality of the earlier findings and demonstrated new theoretical…
