Models• Models
– Trait– Autoregressive– Latent Growth Curve – STARTS– Trait-State-Occasion (TSO)
• Types– Univariate – DA measure (except TSO) – Latent Variable
4
Latent Variable Measurement Models
• Unconstrained– 2(74) = 107.72, p = .006– RMSEA = 0.032; TLI = .986
• Equal Loadings– 2(83) = 123.66, p = .003– RMSEA = 0.034; TLI = .985
• The equal loading model has reasonable fit.• All subsequent latent variable models
(except growth curve) are compared to this model.
5
Trait Model: Univariate
• Test of Equal Loadings? No• Model Fit: RMSEA = 0.071; TLI = .974
6
Trait Model: Latent Variables
• 2(88) = 156.21, p < .001; RMSEA = 0.042; TLI = .983
• More Trait than State Variance• Trait Variance: 12.78• State Variances: 8.17 to 12.48
7
Autoregressive Model: Univariate
• Fixed error variances equal.• Good fitting model: 2(2) = 4.98, p = .083; RMSEA = 0.059;
TLI = .982Reliabilities Stabilities

Autoregressive Model: Latent Variables
• Not a very good fitting model compared to the CFA– 2(3) = 60.08, p < .001• Overall Fit: 2(86) = 183.74, p < .001• RMSEA = 0.051; TLI = .966• Standardized Stabilities

Growth Curve Models• Unlike other models it fits the means and so
results are directly comparable to other models.
• Scaling of Time: -0.75, -0.25, 0.25, & 0.75; Time 0 is the midpoint of the study.
• Null model of zero correlations and equal means.
10
Growth Curve Model: Univariate
• Test of equal error variances: 2(3) = 0.60, p = .896
• Equal variance assumed• Fit: 2(8) = 16.46, p = .036; RMSEA
= 0.049; TLI = .981

Trait State Occasion Model
• Standard TSO does not have correlated errors, but they are added.
• Fit: 2(90) = 153.92, p < .001; RMSEA = 0.040; TLI = .979
• Variances: Trait 11.139 & State 11.788• Autoregressive coefficient = .198
15
STARTS Univariate
• Difficulty in finding trait factor. None of the models converged.
• Trait factor as Seasonality: Loadings in the Fall are 1 and in the Spring are -1
• Models converged.• Data appear to be stationary, no changes in
variance
16
Univariate STARTS Results
• Fit: 2(89) = 15.44, p = .009, RMSEA = 0.069; TLI = .975
• Variances – Seasonality 0.79 (p = .003)– ART 17.32 (p < .001)– State 4.93 (p < .001)
• AR coefficient: .826, r14 = .8263 = .563
17
Latent Variable STARTS
• Fit: 2(89) = 136.86, p < .001, RMSEA = 0.035; TLI = .984
• Variances– Seasonality 0.79 (p = .003)– ART 17.32 (p < .001)– State 4.93 (p < .001)
• AR coefficient: .826, r14 = .8263 = .563
18
TSO vs. STARTS• Trait factor in TSO becomes the
ART factor in STARTS• The State factor with a low AR
coefficient in TSO becomes the State factor in STARTS with a zero coefficient
• STARTS also has a Seasonality Factor.

Best Model?• While debatable, it would appear
that the Latent Growth Curve Model is the most sensible model to retain.
• The Latent STARTS model has a good fit, but the absence of a Trait factor and the post hoc Seasonal factor make it less than desirable.
