Abstract | The paper discusses methodological and analytic issues related to the study of causal structures in empirical educational, behavioral, and social research. Following an introductory discussion of the increasingly popular latent variable modeling (LVM) methodology, the concern is with its application for testing causal theories. The possibility of using LVM for evaluation of consistency between empirical data and implications of causal hypotheses is then focused on. The method of propensity score analysis is subsequently discussed, and an approach to its utilization for treatment effect examination within the framework of LVM is outlined and illustrated on data. A concluding section deals with limitations of this approach to studying causality. (DIPF/Orig.). |
