 Hello,

I ran latent profile analysis on mplus. Now I would like to add two covariates - gender and socioeconomic status. I have couple of questions:

- Can I just regress latent variable (c) on covariate(s) or should I add as in some example also direct effect (regress observed item(s) on covariate(s)?

- What can I obtain as a result, for example for gender? How can this addition influence the results?

- is it add to add two covariates in one model?

Please help if you can. If there is something not clear in my description , please let me know and I will amend it.

Thanks again.
