BERD Workshop, "A Hands-on Introduction to Structural Equation Modeling in Lavaan with Crosswalk to Other Open-Source Software"

In this 2.5-hour workshop, Michael D. Hunter, PhD, Assistant Professor of Human Development and Family Studies, will give a brief, high-level overview of structural equation modeling, a way of representing multiple, simultaneous influences among a set of variables. With hands-on practical exercises, participants will be provided the skills needed to understand, interpret, and specify structural equation models in the R package lavaan. Tools will be provided to assist you in writing your own scripts and understanding the scripts that are widely available online. Finally, attendees will be provided with several online resources for pre-written scripts.
