Hello,

I couldn't find a way to save the pvalues of estimates in a cross-lagged model. I have a pvalue of .050 and I need to see more decimals. Is there a way to do this?

Thank you

Q1. No. I don't see why you need to see more decimals.

Thank you for your answer. A pvalue of .050 could mean either .0497.. or .0504... . Knowing this would help in deciding if an estimate is significant or not. What do you advise to report in the cross-lagged (sig path or n.s. path)?
Thank you

I wouldn't put much emphasis on such small differences. I would report p = 0.050 but put more emphasis on the confidence interval (does it cover zero or not?).

Thank you very much, Bengt. The 95% CI contains zero, hence I can conclude that the effect is not significant at p < .05. Is this correct?
Many thanks,
Led

Yes.
