1. Construct a path model using the variables Family Background, 8th-grade GPA, 10thgrade Self-Esteem, 10th-grade Locus of Control, and 10th-grade Social Studies achievement test scores. How did you make the decisions on which variable affected which? Which of these decisions were the most difficult? What sources could you use to better inform your decisions?

2. What is the identification status of your model from Exercise 2: just-identified, overidentified, or underidentified? If your model is underidentified, see if you can make it into a just-identified model so that you can estimate it.
