Models • Models • Trait • Autoregressive • STARTS • Trait-State-Occasion (TSO) • Latent Growth Curve • Types • Univariate (except TSO) -- DA • Latent Variable
Latent Variable Measurement Models • Unconstrained • c2(74) = 107.71, p = .006 • RMSEA = 0.032; TLI = .986 • Equal Loadings • c2(83) = 123.66, p = .003 • RMSEA = 0.034; TLI = .986 • The equal loading model has reasonable fit. • All latent variable models (except growth curve) are compared to this model.
Trait Model: Univariate • Test of Equal Loadings: No • Model Fit: RMSEA = 0.071; TLI = .974
Trait Model: Latent Variables • Model with just the trait factor does not fit as well as the saturated model: c2(74) = 1xx.81 • More Trait than State Variance • Trait Variance: 12.64 • State Variance 10.39
Autoregressive Model: Univariate • Fixed error variances equal. • Good fitting model: c2(2) = 4.98, p = .083 Reliabilities Stabilities 1: .657 1 2: .802 2: .650 2 3: .847 3: .597 3 4: .738 4: .568
Autoregressive Model: Latent Variables • Not a very good fitting model compared to the CFA • c2(3) = 60.08, p< .001 • Overall Fit: c2(xx) = 1.81, p < .0xx, RMSEA = 0.0xx; TLI = .9xx • Stabilities 1 2: .xxx 2 3: .xxx 3 4: .xxx
Growth Curve Model: Univariate • Unlike other models it fits the means. • Fit: c2(74) = 1xx.81, p < .0xx, RMSEA = 0.0xx; TLI = .9xx Intercept Slope Mean Variance
Growth Curve Model: Latent Variables Fit: c2(74) = 1xx.81, p < .0xx, RMSEA = 0.0xx; TLI = .9xx Intercept Slope Mean Variance
Trait State Occasion Model • Standard TSO does not have correlated errors, but they are added. • Fit: c2(74) = 1xx.81, p < .0xx, RMSEA = 0.0xx; TLI = .9xx • Variances • Trait • State
STARTS Univariate • Difficulty in finding trait factor. None of the models converged. • Trait factor as Seasonality: Loadings in the Fall are 1 and in the Spring are -1 • Models converged.
Univariate STARTS Results • Fit: c2(74) = 1xx.81, p < .0xx, RMSEA = 0.0xx; TLI = .9xx • Variances • Seasonality • ART • State • AR coefficient:
Latent Variable STARTS • Fit: c2(74) = 1xx.81, p < .0xx, RMSEA = 0.0xx; TLI = .9xx • Variances • Seasonality • ART • State • AR coefficient:
