Equality Constraints SEM

[Stacey Theocharous]

Hello,

I am very new to SEM. I am comparing a SEM between males and females but I am not sure which parameters to set as equal across groups.

I am interested as to whether the association between IV and 2 DVs (2 latent variables) is the same for males and females.

Thank you!

That is a big topic. Too big for a quick post on a forum like this. You could look at chapter 5 of Alan C. Ackock (2013) Discovering Structural Equation Modeleling Using Stata (revised edition). College Station, TX: Stata Press. https://www.stata-press.com/books/di...g-using-stata/
