Greeting, I want to see how class atmosphere change overtime influences students' depression overtime. I then have the following variables and syntax:
(1)class atmosphere: c1 c2 c3
(2)students' depression: d1 d2 d3

syntax:
variable: names are number
c1 c2 c3 d1 d2 d3;

within=d1 d2 d3;
between=c1 c2 c3;
cluster=number;
missing is blank;


analysis: type= twolevel random;
model:
%within%
di ds|d1@0 d2@1 d3@2;
%between%
ci cs|c1@0 c2@1 c3@2;
di ds on ci cs;

is this correct?

You cannot use growth factors specified on within in the between part of the model. You would need to specify the model as follows removing the WITHIN option:

%within%
diw dsw|d1@0 d2@1 d3@2;
%between%
dib dsb|d1@0 d2@1 d3@2;
ci cs|c1@0 c2@1 c3@2;
dib dsb on ci cs;
