Modeling Latent Change Score Analysis and Extensions in Mplus: A Practical Guide for Researchers
Open accessAbstract
Many developmental and life course researchers are interested in modeling dynamic developmental processes. Latent change score (LCS) modeling is a potentially powerful modeling technique that can be used to assess complex life course processes, as well as the direction of longitudinal bivariate associations. Advances in modeling software, like Mplus, as well as widening adoption of software by researchers has made LCS modeling simpler. Thus, in the present paper, we provide 1) a theoretical overview of LCS analysis, 2) information on the interpretation of these models, 3) a practical guid7e for estimating these models in Mplus (including example syntax), 4) illustrative examples of LCS analysis, and 5) potential caveats for researchers.

In the citing paper
“This approach allows for simultaneous modelling of two latent variables (i.e., loneliness = LO and negative affect = NA) over time, while examining autoregressive feedback as well as coupling parameters (Fig. 1).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
