Dear all, I used Chin's formula to compare path coefficients of two groups. My puzzle is how to interpret the results: I obtain some significant paths in one group, but not in the other, yet the t-test of the differences between the parallel paths are in many instances not significant. How can I exp...

I run the model on two subsamples. I get different results of path coefficients' significance in the subsamples. Yet, if I calculate t-test of path differences using Chin formula, I often get t-test insignificant. Hence, in one subsample the path is significant, in the other it is not, but overall t...

I read a paper of Tenenhause et al. (2005) in which authors argue for standardisation of variables if not on the same scaling, but under several conditions and not for formative variables. I have one formative variable that is defined on the scale from 0 to 100%, whereas other variables are reflecti...

I would like to estimate interaction between a formative and a reflective variable. I haven't come across any paper dealing with the interaction between two types of LV. The formative variable is a function of only one indicator. The reflective one has three indicators. If I treat the interaction as...
