Figure 4.
Example path diagram of a two latent change score and one unconditional coordinated factor model. The coordination factor captures the extent to which the changes move together decomposing each change into the shared coordination and the uniqueness for each outcome. The maintenance tendency is then captured by predicting the uniquenesses in change. To generate equation 3, all parameters are equated through time. All dashed pathways represent parameters fixed to one. All variances, covariances, and means are shown (thus when not illustrated, they are fixed to zero).
