ABSTRACT

Results: Standardized paths: a = :920, b = :761, c = :652, d = :879, e = :683, f = :356. Residual variances: U = :153, V = :420, W = :575, X = :228, Y = :534, Z = :873. ffl2 = 9:74, 4 df , p < :05. The model is questionable, given the data, but it would imply that a little more than one third (.356) of ambition translates into achievement, when both are expressed in standard-score units.
