Abstract
This course is designed for MASNA students who would like to acquire a significant familiarity with the statistical techniques known collectively as "structural equation modeling," "causal modeling," or "analysis of covariance structures."
Learning Objectives
- To provide you with an understanding of the basic principles of latent variable structural equation modeling and lay the foundation for future learning in the area.
- To explore the advantages and disadvantages of latent variable structural equation modeling, and how it relates to other methods of analysis.
- To develop your familiarity, through hands on experience, with the major structural equation modeling programs, so that you can use them and interpret their output.
- To develop and/or foster critical reviewing skills of published empirical research using structural equation modeling.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Know the basic idea of implied matrices and what is happening in SEM.
- Know the major structural equation modeling programs.
- Know how to translate conceptual thinking into models that can be estimated.
- Be able to use the major SEM programs to estimate common types of models: Multi-equation path analysis models
- Be able to use the major SEM programs to estimate common types of models: Path models with fixed, non-zero error terms
- Be able to use the major SEM programs to estimate common types of models: Models with multiple mediating effects.
- Be able to use the major SEM programs to estimate common types of models: Latent variable multi-equation models.
- Be able to use the major SEM programs to estimate common types of models: Formative indicator models.
- Be able to use the major SEM programs to estimate common types of models: Second-order factor models.
- Be able to use the major SEM programs to estimate common types of models: Multi-group models with mean structures.
- Be able to use the major SEM programs to estimate common types of models: Models with latent variable interactions.
- Be able to use the major SEM programs to estimate common types of models: Latent growth curve models, latent state-trait-occasion models, etc.
- Have an understanding common problems related to model specification, identification, and estimation.
- Have a working knowledge of the different ways to analyze models with covariance structures.
- Be able to use the major SEM programs to estimate common types of models: Multi-level models (If time permits).
