Weights on Latent's indicators

E. Bernardo
Dear Everyone,

Can you suggest/refer a reference suggesting the cut-off of regression weights, particularly weights on the "indicators of latents"?

A latent which is included in a model contains more than 15 indicators (seven-point ordinal response options).  Fifteen is too many for a latent, thus it would be trimmed down.  I am thinking of using parceling approach, but I doubt because only one set of data is available for the analysis.  One set of data meaning, I have data only for use in testing the model and I have no other data for conducting, say factor analysis or parceling, in the latent.

Your suggestion is highly solicited.

Thank you,
Eins
