Hello All, I have been asked to supply the Mean and Standard Deviation for my latent constructs. Is there a straightforward way of doing it in SPSS? I am actually modeling in SmartPLS, but not sure if SmartPLS even does that. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Hello Karl,
In general, the solutions of PLS-based model will differ from those of traditional factor analysis: https://forum.smartpls.com/viewtopic.php?t=16211
The PLS approach defines construct scores as (simple) linear composites of the indicator/element scores. The choice of weighting scheme may cause your results to differ as well (centroid vs. factor weighting vs. path weighting) in PLS. See Hair, J. F., Jr., Hult, G. T. M., Ringle, C. M., & Sarstedt, M. (2017). A primer on partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) (2nd ed.). Los Angeles, CA: Sage Publications.
Good luck with your work.
You may request for sample statistics in Mplus or follow some of the video tutorials on descriptive statistics using SPSS. These videos are readily available on Youtube.
