Structural equation modeling
Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a family of statistical methods designed to test a conceptual or theoretical model. Some common SEM methods include confirmatory factor analysis, path analysis, and latent growth modeling. The term ""structural equation model"" most commonly refers to a combination of two things: a ""measurement model"" that defines latent variables using one or more observed variables, and a ""structural regression model"" that links latent variables together. The parts of a structural equation model are linked to one another using a system of simultaneous regression equations.SEM is widely used in the social sciences because of its ability to isolate observational error from measurement of latent variables. To provide a simple example, the concept of human intelligence cannot be measured directly as one could measure height or weight. Instead, psychologists develop theories of intelligence and write measurement instruments with items (questions) designed to measure intelligence according to their theory. They would then use SEM to test their theory using data gathered from people who took their intelligence test. With SEM, ""intelligence"" would be the latent variable and the test items would be the observed variables.A simplistic model suggesting that intelligence (as measured by five questions) can predict academic performance (as measured by SAT, ACT, and high school GPA) is shown below. In SEM diagrams, latent variables are commonly shown as ovals and observed variables as rectangles. The below diagram shows how error (e) influences each intelligence question and the SAT, ACT, and GPA scores, but does not influence the latent variables. SEM provides numerical estimates for each of the parameters (arrows) in the model to indicate the strength of the relationships. Thus, in addition to testing the overall theory, SEM therefore allows the researcher to diagnose which observed variables are good indicators of the latent variables.Modern studies usually test much more specific models involving several theories, for example, Jansen, Scherer, and Schroeders (2015) studied how students' self-concept and self-efficacy affected educational outcomes. SEM is also used in the sciences, business, education, and many other fields.
