Hi, How can I look at the effects of gender and age on my model? If I am interested in the effects on both the fit of the measurement model (CFA) and the structural model paths (3 latent variables plus 4 predictors), then is the only option to look at a separate model for males/famales and older/younger? What other options would there be? Any thoughts from anyone much appreciated. Thank you. |

You can compare the standardized coefficients. |

Thanks Linda- just to check, do you mean compare the standardised coefficients across groups in multigroup modelling? Best wishes, Clio. |
|
|
Standardized coefficients should not be compared across groups because the standardization is done using different standard deviations for each group. |

Thanks Linda, does this mean that there is no way to compare the magnitude of the effect of a predictor/covariate across groups? Thank you, Clio. |
|

The variables are on the same scale so you can compare the raw coefficients across groups. You can test their equality using either a chi-square difference test or MODEL TEST. |

Hi, If i wanna to test the effect of a demo variable (3 levels), as an indicator, in the model with good model fit indices, does it correct to use the following command? in fact, i wanna to see whether there is an effect of demo on M & DV if it happened. Categorical = demo; estimator = mlr; model: IV by v1 v2 v3 v4; DV by v5 v6; M by v7 v8; M on IV; DV on M IV; demo on IV; Thank you very much. |

If you want to see the effect of demo on m and dv you would say m dv ON demo; |
