SMARTER Workshop: Structural Equation Modeling IV

This workshop will investigate a more complex mode of longitudinal analysis known as latent change score modeling that enables the analyst to bring together the concepts of cross-lag models and growth models into a single overarching concept. This enables the analyst to investigate complex questions related to the strength, direction, and timing of influence between two variables over time, while also exploring their long-term implications for a distal outcome. All modeling will be done in R, with code provided.
