Respected scholars,
I am measuring religious commitment of respondents on a scale having 10 statements. six of them represents intrinsic religious commitment and 4 represent extrinsic. When i am analysing the data on AMOS by applying SEM, i am not getting the required results. on closer investigation, i found that the inter correlation between the two sub scales of religious commitment is very high. it is almost .65 in my case. when i am forming religious commitment a second order construct and run SEM, it is giving better results.Do i need to apply second order SEM here or there are some other options?
And i Request, if anybody is having any paper in which second order SEM has been applied, please forward it to me. Will be most kindness.
Thanks and regards
Typically either in ML data structure or hierarchical/bifactor measurment model specification.
Hope this helps,
Matthew
