Recoding an Ordered-categorical Variable

In Example 33, item1 is a questionnaire item with responses SD, D, A and SA. The dialog boxes below are used to tell Amos how an observed response is related to a respondent's score on an underlying numeric variable. A response of SD or D occurs if the respondent's underlying numeric score is less than 0. The A response occurs if the underlying score is between 0 and 1. The SA response occurs if the underlying score is greater than 1.
