Abstract

Human-computer interaction research increasingly involves investigating psychological phenomena as latent variables. In this chapter, we discuss basic latent variable models using a path model approach. In addition, we given some examples of conducting a latent variable model analysis using the lavaan package in the R statistical programming language.
