Testing Structural Equation Models
Practitioners attempting to understand the findings from research are confronted with analyses involving testing structural equation models. The basics of interpreting analyses involving two or more psychological constructs will be presented. How do sport goal orientations relate to sport enjoyment? Does perceived parental motivational climate relate to sport enjoyment? Which aspects of collective efficacy relate to team cohesion? What are the relationships among goal orientation, perceived motivational climate, and the beliefs about the causes of success for high school student-athletes? Interacting with the researchers who have tested these models will enhance your understanding of structural equation modeling.
