Li, Fuzhong; Duncan, Terry E.; Acock, Alan – Structural Equation Modeling, 2000
Presents an extension of the method of estimating interaction effects among latent variables to latent growth curve models developed by K. Joreskog and F. Yang (1996). Illustrates the procedure and discusses results in terms of practical and statistical problems associated with interaction analyses in latent curve models and structural equation…
