Bainter, Sierra A.; Bollen, Kenneth A. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2014
In measurement theory, causal indicators are controversial and little understood. Methodological disagreement concerning causal indicators has centered on the question of whether causal indicators are inherently sensitive to interpretational confounding, which occurs when the empirical meaning of a latent construct departs from the meaning…
