Video 1: Summary – How to Draw a Simple SEM Model in AMOS

This tutorial introduces the basics of using AMOS to construct a simple


Structural Equation Model (SEM). It covers the fundamental procedures of
defining observed and latent variables, adding indicators, duplicating
objects, adjusting positions and dimensions, and representing covariance
among latent variables.

 Drawing Variables: Integrating observed and latent variables and


linking indicators using AMOS’s graphical interface.
 Duplicating Objects: Efficient replication of variables using the
"duplicate objects" function to enhance symmetry and save time.
 Adjusting Objects: Modifying size, rotation, and position of variables
and arrows for a clear and structured model.
 Depicting Covariance: Demonstrating both manual and plugin-based
methods for drawing covariance relationships.
 Model Organization: Optimizing AMOS workspace by switching to
landscape view for larger models and improved readability.

Video 2: Summary – SEM Basics Using SPSS Amos: Path Analysis in


Amos

This tutorial provides an overview of SEM using SPSS Amos, focusing


on model creation, data importation, relationship establishment, and result
interpretation.

 Model Specification: Drawing models, modifying variables and paths in


AMOS.
 Data Importation: Importing SPSS files and linking them to SEM
constructs.
 Path Analysis: Using single-headed arrows to represent relationships
and setting a regression weight to '1' for model identification.
 Analysis Settings: Adjusting estimation methods and output options.
 Interpretation of Results: Understanding estimates, assessing
significance, and evaluating model fit using fit indices.
Video 3: Summary – A Basic Orientation to AMOS for Beginners

This session introduces AMOS for SEM, covering model drawing, data
import, analysis execution, and result interpretation.

 Data Management & Missing Data: Importing SPSS data, handling


missing values with "Estimate Means and Intercepts."
 Interpreting Results: Understanding regression weights, covariances,
variances, R-squared values, and fit indices like χ², GFI, AGFI, TLI, CFI,
and RMSEA.
 Model Fit & Identification: Differentiating just-identified and over-
identified models.
 AMOS Interface Features: Using the "photocopier" tool for duplication,
the "moving truck" for rearrangement, and tools for repositioning
parameter values for better visualization.

Video 4: Summary – Running SEM in SPSS

This tutorial guides users through conducting SEM in AMOS, from data
preparation to result interpretation and model refinement.

 Data Preparation: Organizing SPSS data, creating dummy codes for


categorical variables.
 Model Construction: Sketching SEM models in AMOS and linking latent
variables to their indicators.
 Analysis & Interpretation: Running SEM analysis, understanding
standardized estimates, p-values, and model fit indices.
 Model Refinement: Using modification indices to adjust covariance
relationships and removing low-loading indicators.

Video 5: Summary – Introduction to EFA and CFA


This webinar, led by Dr. Exequiel R. Gono Jr., a CTE/PS faculty member,
explores Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis
(CFA), their significance in research, and their role in developing
measurement instruments.

 EFA: Used to identify underlying factors when appropriate


questionnaires are unavailable.
 CFA: Validates theoretical models and confirms factor structures.
 Importance of Sample Size & Correlation Matrix: Ensuring robust
results in EFA.
 SPSS Execution: Practical demonstrations on conducting EFA.

Video 6: Summary – Exploratory vs. Confirmatory Factor Analysis

This discussion compares EFA and CFA, emphasizing their applications


in research design and data analysis.

 EFA: Used for identifying factor structures and categorizing data into
themes.
 CFA: Theory-driven approach to testing hypothesized models.
 Construct Validity: Ensuring measurement accuracy in psychological
research.
 Integration with SEM: Increasing use of EFA and CFA in complex
statistical models to refine theoretical frameworks.

EFA aids exploratory research, while CFA confirms hypotheses and


validates constructs. Using both techniques enhances understanding of
variable relationships and strengthens research methodologies.
