| The purpose of the paper was to introduce the basic concepts, calculation methods, two examples related to the structural equation model analysis, and how to implement calculations using SAS. Basic concepts included free parameters and fixed parameters, direct effects and indirect effects, basic composition of the model and model modification; the computational methods involved the model identification, the model estimation and the model evaluation; the data in the two examples were "primary school teachers’ job satisfaction data" and "932 subjects'' alienation and socioeconomic relationship data"; with the help of SAS software, the structural equation model analysis was conducted on the data in the two examples, and an explanation was given to the SAS output results. |
