TL;DR: The bias correcting method, with the newly developed standard error, is the only suitable alternative for SEM and has a higher standard error bias than SEM, but has a comparable bias, efficiency, mean square error, power, and type I error rate.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine this method of Croon (2002) with path analysis, resulting in Factor Score Path Analysis (FSA), which results in correct path coefficients and has some advantages over SEM: it requires smaller sample sizes, can handle more complex models and the method can correct the bias in the regression coefficients.

TL;DR: The results indicate that especially non-ICT related pupil characteristics are associated with differences in primary school pupils' ICT competences, such as introjected regulation, controlling learning style, analytic intelligence, sex and socioeconomic status.

TL;DR: This article found that the mental health of refugees and migrants during the COVID-19 pandemic was significantly impacted, particularly for certain subgroups, (i.e., insecure housing situation and residence status, older respondents, and females) who reported experiencing higher levels of increased discrimination and increases in daily life stressors.

TL;DR: Fit indices for FSR are proposed that can be used to inspect the model fit and be used for inference of the estimators on the regression coefficients and a model comparison test is introduced based on one of these newly proposed fit indices.
