    Symbols Used

    Indicators are normally represented as squares. For questionnaire based research, each indicator would represent a particular question.

    Latent variables are normally drawn as circles. In the case of error terms, for simplicity, the circle is sometimes left off. Latent variables are used to represent phenomena that cannot be measured directly. Examples would be beliefs, intention, motivation.

    Arrow connections represent linear relationships; curved double-ended arrows denote covariances (or correlations).

    The Idea of Estimating SEM

    ( ) Seapproximat

    =

    Estimate the parameters so that the discrepancy betweenthe sample covariance matrix and the implied covariancematrix is minimal.

    How SEM and Traditional Approaches Are Different

    Multiple equations can be estimated simultaneously

    Latent (unobservable) variables can be constructed

    Non-recursive models are possible

    Correlations among disturbances are possible

    Formal specification of a model is required

    Measurement and structural relations are separated, with relations among latent variables rather than measured variables

    Assessing of model fit is not as straightforward

    Model fit gets a different meaning

    The Concept of "Fit" Revisited

    Results from Correlation orRegression:

    R = 0

    Thus, no fit!

    Example: A theory states that two variables are unrelated. We empirically test the theory.

    Results from CBSEM:

    = S

    Thus, perfect fit!

    Theory Testing

    Covariance-based structural equation modeling facilitates three types of theory testing:

    strictly confirmatory

    alternative models

    model generating

    Strictly Confirmatory Theory Testing

    In a strictly confirmatory situation, the researcher has formulated one single model and has obtained empirical data to test it. The model should be either accepted or rejected.

    The model is supported if its implied covariance-matrix does not differ significantly from the empirical covariance matrix.

    Theory Testing: Alternative Models

    The researcher has specified several alternative models (or competing models) and, on the basis of an analysis of a single set of empirical data, one of the models should be selected.

    Model 1 is supported if its fit is not significantly worse.

    Theory Testing: Model Generating

    The researcher has specified a tentative initial model. If the initial model does not fit the given data, the model should be modified and tested again using the same data. Several models can be tested.

    Finding of a model that fits the data well from a statistical point of view and additionally every parameter of the model can be given a substantively meaningful interpretation.

    The re-specification of each model may be theory driven or data driven. Although a model may be tested in each round, the whole approach is model generating, rather than model testing. Depending on the circumstances, the chances to identify the true model can be quite small (MacCallum 1986).

    Research question:

    Does the analysis of whole bloodand dried blood spots lead to

    equivalent conclusions in termsof heroine consumption?

    Strictly confirmatory.

    Theory: Measurement instruments have constant reliability, and both ways of conserving blood lead to equal conclusions (12=1).

    Conclusions

    CBSEM lets you test entire theories.

    CBSEM may help to develop sensometric theories.

    CBSEM allows to explicitly model measurement error.

    Caution: CBSEM does not focus on explaining variance. CBSEM does not focus on prediction.
