Exogenous latent variables
4

• Exogenous latent variables (or) Independent
  variables
• They cause fluctuations in the values of other
  latent variables in the model.
• Changes in the values of exogenous variables are
  not explained by the model.
• Examples External factors (Gender, Age and
  Socioeconomic status) to the model.

5
Endogenous latent variables
5

• Endogenous latent variables (or) Dependent
  variables
• Endogenous variables are influenced by the
  exogenous variables in the model, either directly
  or indirectly.
• Fluctuation in the values of endogenous variables
  is said to be explained by the model.
• All latent variables that influence them are
  included in the model specification.
• Examples In a study to determine whether how
  long a student sleeps affects test scores, the
  independent variable is length of time spent
  sleeping while the dependent variable is the test
  score.
