1 THE GENERAL STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODEL WITH LATENT VARIATES I. Specification: A full structural equation model with latent variables consists of two parts: a latent variable model (which specifies the relations among the latent variables of substantive interest) η = Β η + Γξ + ς a measurement model (which links the latent variables to observed variables); y y = Λ η + ε x x = Λ ξ + δ where: η m x vector of endogenous latent variates in deviation form, ξ n x vector of exogenous latent variates in deviation form, Β m x m matrix of coefficients showing the influence of endogenous latent variates on each other, Γ m x n matrix of coefficients showing the influence of exogenous latent variates on endogenous latent variates, ζ m x vector of errors in equations, y p x vector of observed measures (indicators) of the endogenous latent variates in deviation form, x q x vector of observed measures (indicators) of the exogenous latent variates in deviation form, Λ y p x m matrix of factor loadings for y; Λ x q x n matrix of factor loadings for x; ε p x vector of unique factors corresponding to y; δ q x vector of unique factors corresponding to x; assumptions: () ( I Β) is nonsingular (2) E( ς ) = 0, E ( ε ) = 0, E ( δ ) = 0 (3) Cov ( ξ, ς ') = 0, Cov ( ξ, ε ') = 0, Cov ( ξ, δ ') = 0 (4) Cov ( ς, ε ') = 0, Cov ( ς, δ ') = 0, Cov ( ε, δ ') = 0

2 2 let Cov( δ, δ ') = Θ Cov( ε, ε ') = Θ δ ε Cov( ξ, ξ ') = Φ Cov( ς, ς ') = Ψ then the implied variance-covariance matrix of the observed variables is: x y δ ε Σ( Λ, Λ, Θ, Θ, Β, Γ, Φ, Ψ) Σ Σ yy yx = Σ Σ xy xx where: ( I ) ( ) ( I ) E( ηξ ) ( I ) y '( I ) ' ' y y Σ = Λ Β ΓΦΓ' + Ψ Β ' Λ ' + Θ yy y x y x Σ = Λ ' Λ ' = Λ Β ΓΦΛ ' yx x Σ = Λ ΦΓ Β Λ xy x x Σ = Λ Φ Λ ' + Θ xx δ ε Figure : ϕ δ θ δ x δ θ 22 δ 2 x 2 x λ 2 ξ γ ψ ψ 22 ψ 33 δ θ 33 δ θ 44 δ θ 55 δ θ 66 δ θ 77 δ 3 δ 4 δ 5 δ 6 δ 7 x 3 ϕ 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 x λ 63 ϕ 2 x λ 42 ϕ 32 x λ 73 η ξ 2 η 2 ξ 3 ϕ 33 ϕ 22 γ 3 γ 2 ζ ζ 2 β 2 y y λ λ 62 4 y y λ 2 λ 3 y 5 y 6 y y 2 ε ε 2 ε θ ε θ 22 y 3 y 4 ε 3 ε 4 ε θ 33 ε θ 44 ε 5 ε 6 ε θ 55 ε θ 66 β 32 η 3 y 7 ζ 3 [see Appendix A for the specification of this model]

3 3 distinguish between the following two types of models: recursive models: Β is a lower triangular matrix and Ψ is diagonal (i.e., there are no reciprocal paths, feedback loops, or correlated disturbances); nonrecursive models: Β is not lower triangular and/or Ψ is not diagonal (i.e., there are reciprocal paths, feedback loops, and/or correlated disturbances); note that when y x Λ = I, Λ = I Θ Θ m n, δ ε = 0, = 0 the specification of the model reduces to the usual structural equation model with observed variables; Why is it important to consider measurement error? (i) consequences in bivariate correlation and regression: consider the following model: η = γξ + ζ y = η + ε x = ξ + δ correlation: from classical reliability theory we know that ρ ( η ξ ), = Var Var ρ( y, x) ( η ) ( y ) Var Var ( ξ ) ( x) since the denominator is smaller than or equal to one, ρ( η, ξ) ρ( y, x) ; regression: notice that Cov ( η, ξ) = γϕ so that Cov( η, ξ) γ = ϕ

4 4 what would happen if we mistakenly assumed that η and ξ were measured without error by y and x; in this case we would regress y on x and get Cov( y, x) Cov( η, ξ) ϕ γ * = = = γ Var( x) Var( ξ) + Var( δ ) ϕ + θ thus, for θ > 0, γ * < γ ; it can also be shown that if we have only a sample of observations on y and x, ρ ( y, x) and γ * are inconsistent estimators of ρ( η, ξ ) and γ ; (ii) consequences in multiple regression in general, Γ * is an inconsistent estimator of Γ; the multiple correlation coefficient is attenuated if explanatory variables are measured with error; Identification: (i) a necessary condition for identification is that the number of parameters to be freely estimated not be greater than the number of distinct elements in the variance-covariance matrix of y and x; (ii) a sufficient condition for identification is the two-step rule: in the first step, ignore the particular structural specification of interest and consider a confirmatory factor analysis model in which the factors are allowed to correlate freely; identify the free parameters in x y δ ε Λ, Λ, Θ, Θ, Φ, the variance-covariance matrix of η, and the variance-covariance matrix of η and ξ (see the handout on confirmatory factor analysis for details); if the model in step one is identified, proceed to the second step; assume that η and ξ are directly observable and show that the structural model is identified in this case: null B rule [sufficient but not necessary]: if B is zero, the elements in Γ, Φ, and Ψ are identified;

5 5 recursive rule [sufficient but not necessary]: if B can be written as a lower-triangular matrix and Ψ is diagonal, the latent variable model is identified; rank condition: assumes that all elements of Ψ are freely estimated; solve for the free parameters in Β, Γ, and Ψ in terms of the known elements of the variance-covariance matrix of η and ξ; (b) Estimation: the goal is to find values for the unknown parameters in Λ x, Λ y, Θ δ, Θ ε, Β, Γ, Φ and Ψ, based on S, such that the variance-covariance matrix Σ implied by the estimated parameters will be as close as possible to the observed variance-covariance matrix S; as in the estimation of confirmatory factor models, the most commonly used estimation procedures are ULS, ML, and GLS (refer to the handout on factor analysis for details); (c) Testing:. Global fit measures: (a) χ 2 goodness-of-fit test: test of the hypothesis that the specified model is correct against the alternative that Σ is unconstrained; (b) alternative fit indices: we will discuss these in a separate handout;

6 6 2. Local fit measures: (a) parameter estimates and associated standard errors (b) reliability and discriminant validity (c) explained variation for each structural equation: R 2 ηi = ψ ii Var ( η ) i 3. Model modification: (a) modification indices (b) residual analysis

8 EXPLAINING CONSUMERS USAGE OF COUPONS FOR GROCERY SHOPPING (cf. Bagozzi, Baumgartner, and Yi, JCR 992) 8 Procedure Female staff members at two American universities completed two questionnaires that were sent to them via campus mail. The first questionnaire contained measures of seven beliefs about the consequences of using coupons and corresponding evaluations, as well as measures of attitude toward using coupons, behavioral intentions, and the personality variable of state-/action-orientation. One week later a second questionnaire was sent to those people who had participated in the first wave of data collection. This questionnaire assessed some of the same variables as in wave one as well as people s self-reported coupon usage during the past week. Specifically, subjects were presented with a table that had 2 product categories as its rows (e.g., cereal, juice drinks, paper towels, snack foods, canned goods) and six sources of coupons as its columns (i.e., direct mail, newspapers, magazines, in or on packages, from store displays or flyers, from relatives or friends). An additional row was included for other products so that respondents could indicate usage in categories not covered by the 2 listed. Subjects were asked to state how many coupons they had used for each category and source combination. Measures () beliefs: perceived likelihood of the following consequences of using coupons (rated on 7-point unlikely-likely scales): inconveniences: o searching for, gathering, and organizing coupons takes much time and effort; o planning the use of and actually redeeming coupons in the supermarket takes much time and effort; rewards: o using coupons saves much money on the grocery bill; o using coupons leads to feelings of being a thrifty shopper; encumbrances: o in order to obtain coupons one has to subscribe to extra newspapers, magazines, etc.; o in order to take advantage of coupon offers one has to purchase nonpreferred brands; o in order to take advantage of coupon offers one has to shop at multiple supermarkets; (2) evaluations: how each of the seven consequences of using coupons makes the respondent feel, rated on 7-point good-bad scales; (3) Aact: attitude toward using coupons for shopping in the supermarket during the upcoming week (assessed on four semantic differential scales, i.e., unpleasant-pleasant, bad-good, foolish-wise, and unfavorable-favorable); measured twice (week, week 2); (4) BI: behavioral intentions to use coupons for shopping in the supermarket during the upcoming week (measured with a 7-point unlikely-likely scale assessing intentions to use coupons and an -point no chance-certain scale asking about plans to use coupons); (5) actual coupon usage: the total number of coupons used across product categories and sources; a square root transformation was used to normalize the variable;
