Structural Equation Modeling of Group Differences in CES-D Ratings of Native Hawaiian and Non-Hawaiian High School Students.

Analyzes differences in self-reported Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression inventory results among ethnic Hawaiian and non-Hawaiian high school students, using different forms of latent variable structural equation models. Finds a high degree of invariance between students on depression. Discusses issues about common features and relationships among standard analysis of variance approaches and structural equation methodology. (Author/JPB)
