This workshop is designed to help participants develop skills in
defining, estimating and testing plausible structural equation models.
Applied Structural Equation Modeling will focus on
covariance structure
models with latent variables. Two submodels, confirmatory factor analysis
and path analysis, will also be covered.
Lectures covering
structural equation modeling in general will
be interspersed with hands-on computer work, using both AMOS7
and LISREL 8 software.
The workshop is intended as an introduction to structural equation
modeling.
