Theories and Steps of Structural Model

Theories of Structural Model

A detailed and comprehensive explanation of any phenomenon or event in a pattern or a relationship format is what a Structural Model is. Such a model is made up of two models known as the Measurement model and the Structural Model.

•    Measurement model – The theory which explains how variables measured explains a particular theory is what is known as a measurement model.

•    Structural Model – The theory that shows the inter relationship between constructions and how one is dependent on another is what is known as a structural model.

Various Steps of Structural Model

Given are the various steps of the structural model theory –
•    Explain individual contracts – The initial step for defining any construction is made based on theories. A pre-test can be made to evaluate them.
•    A total measurement model explained – Also called as path analysis, it defines the relationship between variables which are exogenous and endogens in nature. With the help of an arrow such a variable is defined. In Structural Model, the measurement model is a theory which has based itself with the idea that constructs of latent nature can measure variables. The error time involved is not correlated in between measured variables.
•    Empirical construct results – It is needed in such cases of an empirical natured Structural Model for the researcher to study the design first and in total details.  Hence, it is to make sure that identification problems are avoided.
•    Analyse validity of the measurement model – Also termed as CFA, here the theory and the real model is compared for the validity of the measurement model.
