SEM Methodology - Is it valid, aiming for a publication, to use second order methodology in CFA but not during causal model building?

I would like to ask you whether it is applicable to use a second order factor during EFA and CFA and not in SEM causal model. More analytically, I created a second order factor connected to 4...

SEM implications: Is it better to use CFA dimensions in AMOS or use 2nd Order?

Dear colleagues, I used the Brand experience data reduction in SPSS to receive 3 dimensions instead of 4 proposed by Brakus et al. (2009). Thus, two dimensions are merged. Hot question: is it...

SEM Model - Should I incorporate all my variables or just the one needed to accept or reject my hypotheses?

My research model contains about 15 different constructs and most of my hypotheses (about 30) are being accepted (Moderating + Mediating affects). My questions are the following: 1) How easy is...

How to define an anisotropic material with asymmetric elastic compliance/stiffness matrix in ANSYS APDL?

I need to model an anisotropic material in which the Poisson's ratio ν_12 ≠ ν_21 and so on. Therefore, the elastic compliance matrix wouldn't be a symmetric one. In ANSYS APDL, for TB,ANEL...

Meletios Andrinos

Thank you very much for your recommandation Sheikh Mohammad Famim Ahmed

David L Morgan

Another option is Byrne, Structural equation modeling with AMOS: Basic concepts, applications, and programming.

David L Morgan thank you so much!

Ioannis G. Katsantonis

Also, have a look at Awang, Z. (2012) Structural Equation Modeling using Amos Graphics.

Luís Simões da Cunha

I was introduced through Byrne's book, mentioned by David Morgan. I also read a lot on the web.

If you didn't already, you have to see James Gaskins materials, including the plugins he and his team make for amos (search for "amos gaskin" on youtube).

As for slides, there are many "little introductions", but these by Daniel Stahl go several steps further: https://pt.scribd.com/document/120361553/Direct-and-Indirect-Effects (sorry, I can't find a direct link).
