Geiser, Christian; Eid, Michael; Nussbeck, Fridtjof W.; Courvoisier, Delphine S.; Cole, David A. – Developmental Psychology, 2010
The authors show how structural equation modeling can be applied to analyze change in longitudinal multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) studies. For this purpose, an extension of latent difference models (McArdle, 1988; Steyer, Eid, & Schwenkmezger, 1997) to multiple constructs and multiple methods is presented. The model allows investigators to separate…
