Structural Equation Modelling

Date: Wednesday, 8 February 2023.
Time: 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Location: hybrid (in person at Burnside Hall room 1104 and online via Zoom).
Instructor: Emma Somer, PhD student, Miočević Lab, Department of Psychology, McGill.

Overview: This workshop aims to introduce students to the basic concepts of structural equation modeling. The session will go over fitting structural equation models in R, evaluating model fit, interpreting results in substantive terms, and three examples of commonly used structural equation models.

At the end of the workshop, you will be able to
> formulate structural equation models based on theory
> evaluate model fit
> interpret findings from path models, factor models, and structural equation models

Pre-requisites:
· Knowledge of linear regression analysis.
· Introductory knowledge of R, e.g. from our workshop Introduction to programming in R, or from McGill's R summer camp.
· You need to bring your own laptop for this workshop.
