The Importance of Structure Coefficients in Structural Equation Modeling Confirmatory Factor Analysis.
Thompson, Bruce
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v57 n1 p5-19 Feb 1997
A general linear model framework is used to suggest that structure coefficients ought to be interpreted in structural equation modeling confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) studies in which factors are correlated. Two heuristic data sets make the discussion concrete, and two additional studies illustrate the benefits of CFA structure coefficients. (SLD)
