Can I use result (latent variables) from CFA as input to ANOVA (dependant variable)? I am currently writing a paper. And I am not sure if I can use latent variable defined through CFA, as a dependent variable in ANOVA. Thank you for help!

just a pointer to two articles that may help/inspire you: A recent paper by Helm et al. that uses SEM and ANOVA (here) and a paper on factor score regression, in case you want to use the factor scores in the ANOCA (here).
Hope that helps
Stefan
