Prerequisites

The course requires basic understanding of statistics, but does not require knowledge of structural equation modeling or any particular SEM software.
 
Aim

This course is designed to help participants understand the theoretical basis and practical application of structural equation modeling. 
More specifically, we will address the following issues:
 
1. What is structural equation modeling and what types of research questions can it help answer?
2. Theoretical understanding of measurement models and structural models.
3. Conducting basic SEM analysis.
4. Reading SEM output and providing guidelines for reporting SEM results.
5. Analysis of interaction effects with continuous and categorical variables.
6. Latent growth modeling and overview of advanced analyses.
