PSYM 790 - Structural Equation Modeling

3 hours.
3 Credits

The specification and fitting of models that relate observable variables to unobservable variables is known as Structural Equation Modeling. This course presents approaches to the analysis of complex survey data that allow comparative contrasting of competing theories. Typically, these data include multiple measures of the same theoretical construct and the specification of theoretically based relationships among constructs. Students will use statistical software to do problems illustrating application of structural equation modeling including path models, confirmatory factor analysis, structural modeling with latent variables, and latent growth curve models.
