This workshop is designed to help participants develop skills in defining, estimating and testing structural equation models. Applied Structural Equation Modeling will focus on covariance structure models with latent variables. Two submodels, confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis, will also be covered. Lectures covering structural equation modeling in general will be interspersed with hands-on computer work. The workshop is intended as an introduction to structural equation modeling. The software used is Stata--no prior use of Stata is required
