The objective of the course is that the participants become autonomous users of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Mplus software. Some advanced SEM-methodology is covered, like mixture and multilevel models. In the workshops the examplary data is used together, however the participants are recommended to work out and try similar modeling options with their own data set if suitable. One aim of the course is to produce preliminary research outcomes suitable for scientific publication. Basic knowledge of Structural Equation Modeling (for example course SEM1) and Mplus software is required.
