Using Structural Equation Models with Latent Variables to Study Student Growth and Development.
Pike, Gary R.
Research in Higher Education, v32 n5 p499-524 Oct 1991
Analysis of data on freshman-to-senior developmental gains in 722 University of Tennessee-Knoxville students provides evidence of the advantages of structural equation modeling with latent variables and suggests that the group differences identified by traditional analysis of variance and covariance techniques may be an artifact of measurement error.
