Abstract
A general linear model (GLM) framework is employed to suggest that structure coefficients ought to be interpreted in structural equation modeling confinmatory factor analysis (CFA) studies in which factors are correlated. The computation of structure coefficients is explained. Two heuristic data sets are used to make the discussion concrete. The benefits from using CFA structure coefficients are illustrated using two additional studies.Keywords
