We will test the following model as out confirmatory model. ANALYSIS: bootstrap = 10000; Model: ktd ON enjoyadult; !This is H2 & H3 with below ktd ON art enjoychild enjoypeers conservative; !These are H3 with above enjoychild ON art enjoyadult; enjoypeers ON art enjoyadult; atd ON art conservative; enjoypeers WITH enjoychild; atd WITH ktd; enjoyadult WITH art; MODEL INDIRECT: ktd IND art; !This is H3 ktd IND enjoyadult; ktd via enjoychild art; !This is H1 with below & H3 ktd via enjoypeers art; !This is H1 with below ktd via enjoychild enjoyadult; !This is H1 & H2 with below ktd via enjoypeers enjoyadult; !This is H1 & H2 with above output: cinterval (bcbootstrap) Samp stdYX Residual Tech4 ; There are three distinct hypotheses built into this model. 1. H1: The reason for the association of objective and subjective measures of a trait and the belief in 'kids these days' in that same trait are explained by a failure of memory where we impose ourselves (falsely) on children of our past. 2. H2: Self-perceptions of how much one likes to read as an adult will continue to predict 'kids these days' after accounting for the other variables in the model, either directly or indirectly through the mediators in H1 3. H3: Kids these days is not a subset of a larger 'adults these days' phenomenon, as indicated by a continued relationship between objective and subjective paths after including 'adults these days' in the model
