Notes. The model allows all latent variables at Wave 1 to correlate with all latent variables at Wave 2. However, for simplicity, we only show here the correlations over time between the same latent variable. The model also allows the errors of all indicator variables at Wave 1 to correlate with their respective errors at Wave 2.
