摘要
结构方程建模(SEM)是一种新的统计方法和研究思路,近年来在心理学和社会科学领域的应用日益增多。本文在非数学化的基础上,结合心理学研究实例介绍了SEM的渊源、发展、基本概念、分析过程以及相应的计算机统计软件LI-SREL。本文认为SEM有四大优点:①引进潜变量使研究更为深入,②遵循一般线性模式进行验证型分析,使研究更有意义,③妥善处理多变量间的复杂关系,④模型具有参数不变性。SEM应该引起国内心理学界的重视。
Structural equation modelling (SEM) is a new kind of statistical technology and research method, which is applicated more and more in the fieldof psychology and social science in recent years. This article introduces theresources, development, basic concepts, analytic procedure, and correspondingcomputer statistical package LISREL based on nonmathematical language.Theauthor considers that SEM has four types of advantages: a. Introduction oflatent variables makes the research more profound; b. Confirmatory analysisfollowing common linear models makes the research more meaningful; c. Com-plex relationships within multivariates are treated appropriately; d. Structu-ral equation models are characterized by invariation in model parameters.Therefore Chinese psychologists should pay attention to SEM.
