Fig.2: Model_2. A3 – main model
To merge those two models I anchored part of A3 model (Anchor_A3) in
the A2 model. Anchor is therefore a part of one model (in this case model_A3)
that becomes embedded in the other. Anchor allows us to establish the
connection between two models without actually connecting them. There is a
little flexibility from the researcher side to decide which model can be
anchored in which. As is written at the introduction of this paper this should
be embedded in the underlying theory. When the connection is established,
anchor can be made – always at the side of the dependent model. In this case,
anchor represents a part the higher model (A3) embedded in the model A2.
