Hi everyone,
I'm trying to create a structural model for my master research. So far, i have created an initial model with only continuous variables. I have 2 independent and 1 dependent latent factors (motor skills, response inhibition and motor creativity).
In my next model, i want to include the variable gender (nominal). The manual states that i should create a polychoric correlation matrix in that case, and i already did this.
Now my question is: In my new LisRel syntax, should i use only this polychoric correlation matrix or should i also use the original (Pearsons) correlation matrix? If so, how should it look?
Thanks in advance for the help.
