Social-indicator model building: A multiple-indicator design

Evaluation of a Logo computer curriculum for upper level elementary school students

“…Another advantage is that the researcher must conceptualize the study and identify the theoretical model prior to implementation (Duncan, 1975;Pedhazur, 1982;Wolf le, 1980). Finally, unlike a correlational study where there is no assignment of cause and effect, causal assumptions are made explicit in path analysis (Warren, Fear & Klonglan, 1980). This method is not, however, intended to discover causes: .…”

“…However, the "separate identity" (Jacobson & Lalu, 1974) of each of the variables is retained rather than being combined as an index or factor and each indicator is used in solving for the unknowns in the path model. Jacobson and Lalu (1974) blocks (Warren, Fear & Klonglan, 1980).…”

“…In an attempt to overcome this concern, multiple indicators (two or more observed variables measuring an unobserved variable) were introduced as an alternative to the single indicator approach (Sullivan, 1971;Sullivan, 1974;Warren, Fear, & Klonglan, 1980). However, calculations were complex and tedious.…”
