Is there a listserv for AMOS? Specifically I am hoping to make a post
about how to obtain the correlation between two latent constructs. I know I can get the covariance but am a little baffled by the correlation in AMOS. My hunch is that it is not possible as long as the latent variable is not standardized. Zachary [hidden email] |
There is not a listserv dedicated to Amos, but there is one dedicated to SEM and Amos is a routine topic there as you would imagine.

This is an old and wise list with a searchable archive that goes back for
years. It's a great resource. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Mark A.

I am not an AMOS expert, but obtaining correlations between latent
variables is an option in the graphics interface if you have modeled covariance between the latent variables of interest. It sounds as if you have done this, because you speak of a covariance estimate. Modeling covariance between the latent variables requires, in the graphic interface (the only way I use AMOS) drawing a double-arrow arc between any two latent variables of interest. The default output is for unstandardized coefficients. Once a model is estimated the default output shows unstandardized covariance and regression coefficients in both the graphic of the model and in the printout (key F10). To obtain standardized estimates select "Analysis properties" (the abacus icon with six colored buttons or "Ctrl" key and "A" simultaneously), then select the "Output" tab, then select by check mark "Standardized estimates" from among the 15 options for output. If you have modeled the covariance between the latent constructs of interest, you will now have correlation coefficients in the printout (key F10) and an option for standardized estimates for the graphic of your estimated model.
