In this paper we describe some mathematical and statistical models based on structural equation modeling (SEM) using computer programs like LISREL. We focus on SEM methodology for the simultaneous examination of the internal validity of psychological constructs and the external validity represented by age relations. To illustrate these ideas we use a latent variable path model to examine the organization of intellectual abilities measured by the WAIS-R in the standardization sample. We also examine different ways in which age can be used to structure this organization. This is primarily a methodological paper, but we try to integrate conceptual principles of modeling with some substantive issues of research on the psychology of aging.
在本文中，我们描述了一些基于结构方程模型（SEM）的数学和统计模型，这些模型使用诸如LISREL之类的计算机程序。我们专注于SEM方法，用于同时检验心理构念的内部效度以及由年龄关系所代表的外部效度。为了阐述这些观点，我们使用一个潜在变量路径模型来检验在标准化样本中由韦氏成人智力量表修订版（WAIS-R）所测量的智力能力的组织情况。我们还研究了年龄可用于构建这种组织的不同方式。这主要是一篇方法论的论文，但我们试图将建模的概念原则与老年心理学研究的一些实质性问题结合起来。
