Structural Equation Modeling

Catalog description

The course will introduce students to Structural Equation Models (SEMs) using AMOS, one of the most frequently used software programs for structural equation modeling. Students will learn how SEMs simultaneously model the measurement and conceptual structure of psychological phenomena by combining the statistical techniques such as factor analysis, path analysis, and simultaneous equation models. Through the course, students will be able to learn how to construct, estimate and to interpret SEMs based on data sets provided by the professor or on data related to student’s dissertation or other research projects.
