The three latent variables are each represented by an oval with the following labels: “D M,” “P E U,” and “O T” “D M” is positioned in the left center of the model. From “D M,” five leftward arrows connect to five rectangles arranged in a vertical series to the right of “D M” and labeled from top to bottom as follows: A first arrow with a path coefficient of 0.81 points to “D M 1.” A second arrow with a path coefficient of 0.75 points to “D M 2.” A third arrow with a path coefficient of 0.81 points to “D M 3.” A fourth arrow with a path coefficient of 0.78 points to “D M 4.” A fifth arrow with a path coefficient of 0.65 points to “D M 5.” To the left of each of these five rectangles, five ovals are arranged in a vertical series and labeled from top to bottom as follows: “e 21,” “e 22,” “e 23,” “e 24,” and “e 25.” Right-pointing arrows labeled 0.65, 0.56, 0.66, 0.57, and 0.43 from each oval point to their respective indicators. A downward arrow labeled 0.15 from another oval above “D M” labeled “e 1” points to “D M.” “P E U” is positioned above “D M” to the top right. From “P E U,” two rightward arrows connect to two rectangles positioned in a vertical series and labeled from top to bottom as follows: A first arrow with a path coefficient of 0.71 points to “P E U 1.” A second arrow with a path coefficient of 0.85 points to “P E U 3.” To the right of “P E U 1” and “P E U 3” are two ovals labeled “e 11” and “e 13,” respectively, with left-pointing arrows labeled 0.50 and 0.72 connecting them to the rectangles. A downward arrow labeled 0.39 from “P E U” points to “D M.” To the right of “D M” is “O T.” A rightward arrow labeled 0.59 from “D M” points to “O T.” Above “O T” is an oval labeled “e 3,” with a downward arrow labeled 0.48 connecting it to “O T.” From “O T,” five rightward arrows connect to five rectangles arranged in a vertical series and labeled from top to bottom as follows: A first arrow with a path coefficient of 0.89 points to “O P E.” A second arrow with a path coefficient of 0.94 points to “R.” A third arrow with a path coefficient of 0.87 points to “I N D.” A fourth arrow with a path coefficient of 0.99 points to “C O M.” A fifth arrow with a path coefficient of 0.85 points to “C F E.” To the right of “O P E,” “R,” “I N D,” “C O M,” and “C F E” are five ovals labeled from top to bottom as “e 35,” “e 34,” “e 33,” “e 32,” and “e 31.” Left-pointing arrows labeled 0.79, 0.89, 0.76, 0.99, and 0.90 connect each oval to its respective rectangle. A downward arrow labeled 0.43 from “O T” points to another rectangle at the bottom labeled “S A T.” An oval on the left labeled “e 2” and a right-pointing arrow points to “S A T.” A double-headed arrow labeled negative 0.29 connects “e 21” and “e 23.” A double-headed arrow labeled negative 0.25 connects “e 21” and “e 24.” A double-headed arrow labeled 0.33 connects “e 24” and “e 25.” A double-headed arrow labeled negative 5.50 connects “e 35” and “e 32.” A double-headed arrow labeled negative 9.96 connects “e 34” and “e 32.” A double-headed arrow labeled negative 3.69 connects “e 33” and “e 32.” A double-headed arrow labeled negative 9.44 connects “e 32” and “e 31.”The obtained structural model.
