Latent Growth Models: the variances of my slope factors are not significant. Can I still add (and interpret in a meaningful way) covariates?

04 April 2017 0 739 Report

Hi everyone,

I'm running some unconditional LGM and would like to add covariates to my models. I have a question in this regard:

The means of intercepts and slopes are significant. However, the slope variances are not significant. Can I still add (and interpret in a meaningful way) covariates?

Thank you in advance for your help.
