Fig. 4. The classical psycho-physical-SEM.

Fig. 4

The figure reveals the path regressors of different psycho-physical factors, including the presence of psychiatric antecedents, somatic problems and cognitive functioning. Circles depict latent (unmeasured theoretically built) variables. Squares depict observable (measured) variables. One-way bold arrows depict regressor paths. Two-way arrows reveal significant covariation among latent variables. Bold numbers indicate significant (standardized) regressor scores. The outcome of latent and observable variables (symptoms of mental illness) is shown in gray. Triangles with a “1” on the interior and including an arrow pointing to a specific latent variable depicts the latent intercepts (i.e., factor means). The figure only shows latent intercepts in which the estimated factor mean of females was statistically different from males. For ease representation error terms are not shown in the figure.
