Effect of single indicators on dependent variable

Post by simone »

Hi,

is there any way to find out about the effect of a single indicator (belonging to a latent variable which consists of various indicators) on the dependent variable? Or is the analysis limited to interpreting the coefficients between the latent variable and the dependent variable?

Thanks a lot!

Particularly when you have a formative constructs, it makes sense to analyse the effect of single indicators on the dependent variable(s).
We provide these results (total effects of indicators) in the IPMA.
