I would like to know if AMOS can be used if dependent variable (DV) is an observable variable such as student grade (to measure performance)? The model does not run with overall grade. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
AMOS can indeed be used when the dependent variable is an observable variable, such as student grades, to measure performance. However, if the model does not run with the overall grade, several factors might be causing this issue. Potential reasons include data issues, model specification errors, or the necessity for the grades to be part of a larger latent construct within the structural equation model. To resolve this, ensure that the data are properly prepared, the model is correctly specified, and consider using grades as indicators of a latent performance construct if applicable. Additionally, check for multicollinearity, handle any missing values, and make sure all paths and relationships in the model are accurately defined. These steps can help troubleshoot and resolve the issues preventing the model from running correctly.
