The increasing popularity of structural equation models that correct for attenuation due to measurement error is noted. The methods by which structural models correct for the effects of measurement error are reviewed. Next, implications of such disattenuation for interpreting the results of structural equation models are considered. Recommendations are advanced for addressing the practice of disattenuation, and caution is urged in drawing inferences based on disattenuated parameter estimates.
