Anderson, D., Patarapichayatham, C., Nese, J. F. T. (2013). Basic concepts of structural equation modeling (Technical Report No. 1306). Eugene, OR: Behavioral Research and Teaching, University of Oregon. In this paper we introduce the basic concepts of structural equation modeling (SEM) for consumers of research.
