Module 3 - Case

INSTRUMENT/MEASUREMENT MODEL, REGRESSION, PATH ANALYSIS, AND STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING TOOLS

Assignment Overview

Follow the  Module 3 Case Instructions . Accomplish measurement instrument/model assessment using SPSS tools then using Smart PLS.

Case Assignment

After reviewing the required readings found in the module background section, accomplish the instructions in the PowerPoint Slide (MODULE 3 CASE INSRUCTIONS PPT-3).  You will require use of 4 sets of data files (All 3 start with the name Data for Module 3 – Variables and Indicators - see below - and the 4th one is called  Data for Mediation Analysis. sav) and a macro used in SPSS ( 59069MB mediation test macro .sps).  When you finish you can upload the files to the Case 3 Dropbox.

Data for Module 3- Variables and Indicators - Import to SmartPLS

Data for Module 3- Variables and Indicators - Import SPSS

Data for Module 3- Variables and Indicators - Import to SmartPLS-only 99

Important:

If it has been long time since you used SPSS or you have never used SmartPLS, look up some YouTube Videos.

If you do not have a large or dual monitors on your computer, it is highly recommended that you print these PowerPoint instruction slides or you will have challenges executing the assignment.

Assignment Expectations

Students gain practical experience:

1. Assessing measurement instruments and associated measurement models.

2. Assessing relationships between variables in a regression, path, or structural model.

3. Assessing how different statistical analysis software (tools) present different statistics.

Note: APA format is NOT required for any assignment in this class.
