AB  - This review considers a common question in data analysis: What is the most useful 
      way to analyze longitudinal repeated measures data? We discuss some contemporary 
      forms of structural equation models (SEMs) based on the inclusion of latent 
      variables. The specific goals of this review are to clarify basic SEM 
      definitions, consider relations to classical models, focus on testable features 
      of the new models, and provide recent references to more complete presentations. 
      A broader goal is to illustrate why so many researchers are enthusiastic about 
      the SEM approach to data analysis. We first outline some classic problems in 
      longitudinal data analysis, consider definitions of differences and changes, and 
      raise issues about measurement errors. We then present several classic SEMs based 
      on the inclusion of invariant common factors and explain why these are so 
      important. This leads to newer SEMs based on latent change scores, and we explain 
      why these are useful.
