Re: st: SEM becomes unidentified when introducing single item control variables

["JVerkuilen (Gmail)" <jvverkuilen@gmail.com>]

The standard errors being crazy is a sign that the model is not
identified. I'd suspect it's because the latent variables for these
controls aren't identified, and given that it doesn't sound like you
have a measurement model for them I'm not sure how they could be. Why
are they latent anyway?
