Overview
For this assignment, I need reports for Chapters 10 and 11 which cover Structure Equation Modeling. The reports consist of Lisrel output, research hypothesis, analysis, interpretation, and conclusion for the assignments.
Attached is a zip file with the data file(HBAT,SEM), CH 10 and 11, PowerPoint presentations, illustrations for assignments, and the SEM guidelines of the steps above.
The reports should consist of 7 stages of SEM: Stage 1. Develop a theoretically based model, Stage 2. Constructing path diagrams, Stage 3. Convert path diagram into structural & measurement models, Stage 4. Choosing input matrix type, Stage 5. Assessing identification of model, Stage 6. Evaluating Goodness-of-Fit (GOF) criteria, and Step 7. Interpretation and modification.
Use HBAT-SEM data file
CFA Illustration – pg. 681
- Run CFA model in Fig. 10.5 (pg. 684)
- Interpret results
SEM Illustration – pg. 713
- Run SEM model in Fig. 11.6 (pg. 714)
- Interpret results
Modify the SEM model (in step 2) on your own way
- Modification on the causal relationships on the model
- (assuming the change has been justified already by theories)
- Run the modified SEM model
- Interpret results and compare with the 2)
