Three-Factor Model with Zero Correlation
In this exercise, you will use the Eysenck Personality Inventory dataset from the psychTools
library to create a three-factor model of personality. This inventory includes 57 questions that measure extraversion, neuroticism, and lying.
Let's create a three factor model using the latent variables: extraversion
, neuroticism
, and lying
with four manifest variables on each item. Remember when you create multiple latent variables, these endogenous variables are automatically correlated. Set the correlation between the extraversion
latent variable and neuroticism
latent variable to zero, by using the ~~
in model specification code.
