PSY-RSS15 Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling1 semester credits
This Research Skills Seminar will introduce students to both principal components analysis (PCA) and confirmatory factor analysis (FA) and will explore the use of statistical techniques that fall under the general heading of structural equation modeling. Students will learn the distinctions between PCA and FA, the difference between orthogonal and oblique rotation, and principles for interpreting the results of these analyses. Students will explore what it means to develop a “causal model” and the logical principles that underlie the concept of causation. Examples of structural equation models and measurement models will be presented using the AMOS software program. Students taking this seminar should have a good knowledge of intermediate statistics, including regression analysis, and should have completed applicable pre-requisite courses.
Pre-requisites: PSY-716A and PSY-717
