PREFACE

Today, scientific research is becoming increasingly complex and the need for advanced statistical methods to make sense of the relationships between variables is growing. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) provides researchers with a powerful framework for testing theoretical models, analyzing latent variables, and validating measurement instruments. This module is designed as a comprehensive guide for researchers who want to understand the basic concepts and application steps of SEM using AMOS software. The main purpose of this module is to provide both a theoretical and practical perspective for researchers who want to use SEM in different fields such as education, psychology and business, especially in social sciences.

As a practical reference for students, academics and researchers, this module aims to simplify the technical aspects of SEM, enabling the reader to make effective use of the facilities offered by AMOS. Each chapter is structured to help the reader easily understand the application process, supported by example models and explanations. We hope that this study will contribute to all researchers trying to understand the SEM method.
