Abstract
Latent variable models are a broad family of models that can be used  
to capture abstract concepts by means of multiple (continuous and/or  
categorical) indicators. They are often best known in the form of  
factor analysis and structural equation models. The workshop  
introduces participants to latent trait models (continuous latent  
variables) and latent class models (discrete latent variables). During  
the workshop we will be using the MPlus programme to carry out the  
analyses.
