Dear researchers,
Good afternoon.
I am trying to perform a path analysis with 1 independent, 1 mediating and 1 dependent variable. After creating a triangular model with observed and unobserved variables, I selected the analysis properties. From the output option I selected the first three options. After that, I selected perform bootstrap. Then I clicked on standardized estimate and calculate estimates. Then it started showing scanning and reading. And it continued like this. How can I fix this?
I am using SPSS AMOS 22 Version.
Please help.
Thank you.
Perhaps the issue is that you specified an error term (e1) for your independent/exogenous variable (Cognitive). Exogenous variables have no associated error terms/error variances as parameters in path models. Only mediating/dependent/endogenous variables have error terms/error variances.
Hello,
It is not converging because you have an error term on your independent variable.
It is an SEM violation
Pls remove error term on your I.V. and re-run
- Check Model Specification
- Verify Data File
- Adjust Bootstrap Settings
- Recheck Output Options
- Update or Reinstall SPSS AMOS
- Check System Resources
- Clear AMOS Temporary Files
- Use Compatibility Mode
- Test with a Simple Model
- Ensure your path model is correctly specified:Verify that the relationships between the independent, mediating, and dependent variables are properly defined with arrows. Ensure that observed and unobserved variables are correctly linked. Verify that the variables have valid data with no missing or invalid values.
- Check for improper constraints (e.g., fixing paths unintentionally).
2. Verify Data File
- Ensure that:The dataset used in AMOS has no missing values in the variables involved in the model. Variable names in the AMOS diagram match the dataset exactly. The dataset is in a compatible SPSS file format (.sav) and is accessible without errors.
