1. Pick a research study in your area of interest. Describe the latent variables, the constructs the authors were interested in. What was the construct of interest underlying the independent variable(s)? What was the construct of interest underlying the dependent variable(s)? What measured variables were used to approximate these constructs?

2. How could you convert this research from a measured variable study into a latent variable study? Think of ways to include multiple measures of the researchers’ independent and dependent variables. Draw a model incorporating both measured and latent variables.
