Curriculum

This introduction to Structural Equation Modeling consists of two parts: 

Part one - This part focuses on the foundations of covariance-based structural equation modeling (SEM) with AMOS. The emphasis lies on the assessment of the validity and reliability of measurement models through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Topics include model specification, model fit (fit indices), modification indices, validity, alternative model testing and common method variance. In addition, the testing of simple structural models, path models and structural equation models including mediators is presented. Attention is also paid to reporting the results of CFA and SEM analyses. 

Part two - During this part, partial-least squares SEM is introduced and compared and contrasted to covariance-based SEM. Analyses including moderation, the assessment of measurement invariance and multigroup analyses are explained according to both covariance-based SEM and partial-least squares SEM. Partial-least squares SEM is demonstrated using Smart-PLS.
