Abstract
In the social and behavioral sciences, researchers are often interested in studying theoretical constructs that cannot be observed directly; such phenomena are termed latent variables, or factors. (Throughout the book, the terms "construct," "latent variable," and "factor" are used interchangeably). Examples of latent variables in psychology are self-concept and anxiety; in sociology, powerlessness and racial prejudice; in education, teacher expectancy and verbal ability; in economics, economic expectation and social class.
