Teachers: D. Monzani (IEO) - Dates: 9-16-23-30 June 2021; 7 July 2021

The course aims at providing an introduction to Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) using Mplus for social and behavioral sciences. The course will cover basic principles of SEM, introduction to Mplus, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, exploratory structural equation modeling, multiple group analysis and test of measurement invariance, mediation and moderation with observed and latent variables. It includes theoretical training, tutorials and practical examples with real data.
