That takes care of the path diagram. It is also necessary to make a change to the data
because if WILLING is an observed variable, then there has to be a WILLING column
in the data file. You can directly modify the data file. Since this is a data file in SPSS
Statistics format, you would use SPSS Statistics to add a WILLING variable to the data
file, making sure that all the scores on WILLING are missing.
To avoid changing the original data file:
E Right-click the WILLING variable in the path diagram
E Choose Data Recode from the pop-up menu to open the Data Recode window.
E In the Data Recode window, click Create Variable. A new variable with the default
name V1, appears in the New and recoded variables list box.
