Information
Independent (predictor) variables are referred to as exogenous in Structural Equation Modeling, whereas dependent (predicted) variables are called endogenous (Bodoff & Ho, 2016). Figure 2 shows an example of exogenous and endogenous variables in the model.
As seen in Figure 2, the independent variable is “Mindfulness”. This variable is also an exogenous and predictor variable. “Emotion Regulation” is a dependent, endogenous and predicted variable. “Mindfulness in Marriage” is also an endogenous and predicted variable.
