Structural Equation Modeling Using AMOS

This document provides an introduction to using structural equation modeling (SEM) with AMOS, including SEM basics like nomenclature and its advantages over other methods. It outlines SEM assumptions like sample size, variable types, model identification, and data requirements. The document then guides the reader through building and testing a model in AMOS, interpreting output measures of model fit, and modifying models to improve fit. Finally, it discusses integrating parameter estimates and significance tests into a substantive interpretation.
