I have designed this hands-on course to provide you an intense yet enjoyable instructional experience that focuses on a large number of both introductory and advanced topics in SEM using the latest version of one of the most well-known software package, IBM AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structures). In this course I will provide the materials and instruction that you need to both develop a good understanding of SEM and to be able to thoughtfully apply a variety of basic and advanced models to your data. More specifically, this course will cover a broad range of topics such as
• data preparation,
• model development,
• model fit assessment using various indexes,
• construct reliability and validity assessment using various methods,
• different methods to improve your model,
• structural model assessment,
• hypothesis testing,
• mediation using Baron and Kenny approach
• mediation using Sobel test
• mediation using bootstrapping method
• moderation,
• and multi-group analysis

I know I already commented yesterday, but I just cannot express how thankful I am. This is the greatest series on how to use AMOS on all of KZfaq. Thank you so much.

Hi Prof Sharif. Thank you very much for sharing your videos. They are really helpful. In this video, for modification indices, I wonder, why only one covariance way is accepted and the others are not. Do you have reference for that? I saw also in some related videos, they can covariance error terms from one constructs with ones from others and I am confused. Thanks for your help.

Thank you so much, Dr, for the series on using AMOS; helpful and insightful. I have a question concerning improving the model using the residuals table; in my model, I don't have any value equal to or more than 4.00; however, how can I decide on removing an item based on the absolute values?

Thank you very much for the helpful content. But I faced serious problem with model fit. I tried all the methods but my model is not even close to the assumptions of model fit. Where is the problem. Thank you Dr. Sharif.

Hi Professor, I have created 3 groups using cluster analysis on my first study variable (consists of 4 observed variables). Should i include this variable(4 items), in the CFA model??

Hi, sir thank you for the video it is great! I just had a question. How can we justify the correlation of error terms within the same construct in our paper? I have read that it is not allowed to do simply to improve model fit? Thanks!

respected sir, in CFA can CMIN/df value and RMR be zero? also sir can GFI AND CFI can be 1.00 value?

@tenzindawa3338 2 жыл бұрын

aslo sir in my one construct CMIN/df value was nil, RMR VALUE was .000 and GFI and CFI value was 1.000 but my RMSEA value was .569 so, how can I improve my model fit? since RMSEA value is above .08

@riverel 2 жыл бұрын

Prof, if I have a large sample size (n>500), can I accept lower loading values at around 0.3? I have found some literature that allows it but I'm still nervous. Thank you for the informative video!

Well.... I don't recommend it.. :) I understand there may be some studies that accepted lower loadings. However, it won't be easy to convince the examiners/reviewers.

Thank you for this video. It truly helped my instrument development and validation. But, why do the required points for CFI and TLI differ from other literature? Some say CFI and TLI would be a good fit if it’s greater than 0.95. Sir, can you clarify this matter? Anyway, thank you for your time.

Yes. There are different opinions. It depends how strict you want to be. You may refer to any of them as long as you acknowledge the limitations of each.

Hi Dr., I have problem with discriminant validity. The model is fit and convergent validity is met. I did SD and EFA but still has problem... Do you have email? Thank you so much

Sir i m very worried my model fit is poor and discriminant validity too

@saeedsharif 3 жыл бұрын

In these series of videos I have provided some solutions to improve the model fit and discriminant validity. You may need to covariate some error terms, remove weak factor loadings, etc. For discriminant validity, you need to find the item with cross loading and remove it. You may perform an EFA on the problematic constructs and find the item with cross loading.
