Using total scores as latent variables PreviousNext

I'm trying to study the correlation (and shared variance) between two variables.

However, I do not have scores for items, but only have total scores for each person.

If I conduct a structural model between the two variables without first doing a measurement model (because I don't have the item scores), it treats the two variables as observed.

Is there a way to treat the variables as latent variables in a structural model without first doing a measurement model?

Many thanks.

No.
