Use of the Simple Change Score in Correlational Analyses.
Gardner, R. C.; Neufeld, Richard W. J.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v47 n4 p849-64 Win 1987
This article examines the simple difference score (Y-X) using different correlational analyses. Three classes of correlational analyses considered involve the correlation of initial score (X) with change (Y-X); the correlation of another variable (A) with change (Y-X); and the correlation of one change score (B-A) with another (Y-X).
