James Gaskin Stats Tools Package Guide

This document contains output from an AMOS analysis with 20 factors. It provides standardized loadings, covariances, composite reliability, average variance extracted, maximum shared variance, and average shared variance for each factor. These statistics can be used to assess the convergent and discriminant validity of each factor. The document also includes a sample multi-group analysis output testing for measurement invariance across groups.

HELP: Std Loading.


In this column type in the standardized loadings on the single
direction arrows like the ones shown in the model to the right. Only
type in the loadings for the particular factor you are interested in.

HELP: Shared Var.


In this column type in the standardized covariance on the double
ended arrows like the ones shown in the model to the right. Only
type in the ones that connect with the particular factor you are
interested in. Notice in this example we are interested in the
factor called F1 PwC and we have only included the covariances .
42 and .79. We have excluded .75 because it is a covariance not
shared with Factor 1.

Step 1. provide chi-square and df for unconstrained


and constrained models, and provide the number of
groups. The thresholds (green cells) will be updated
automatically.
Groups are different at the model level. Check path
differences.

Any chi-square more than the threshold (Green


Cells) will be variant for a path by path analysis

Intercept / Constant:

The independent variable is the one whose relationship with the DV


is being moderated. The moderator is the other IV doing the
moderating. The Interaction is the product variable. The
intercept/constant, is just the virtical position for the graph (pick
anything you want, but 3 makes the most sense). You'll need to
change the label of the y axis yourself (should be the dependend
variable name).
