Abstract
This study compared the performance of structural equation modeling (ESEM) with structural equation modeling (SEM) and regression (REG) in multiple regression with latent variables. The Monte Carlo simulations showed that: (1) ESEM had the least estimation bias with non-zero cross-factor loadings; and (2) higher statistical power than SEM across conditions.
