Application of Structural Equation Model and AMOS Software

Abstract:

The Amos 17 is the structural equation model (Structural Equation Modeling, SEM), which is one of the important software analysis. With the application of SEM technology in depth, analysis of multi group structural equation model (Multiple-Group Analysis) has gradually attracted researcher’s attention.. Stability of deep test theoretical model by examining the effect of its regulating variable, and the method is not only suitable for fitting degree test theoretical models in the regulation of variables of different level, but also for the fitting problem to test the tracking data and theoretical model. Through a case study of their own, using Amos 17 software as the basis introduces the basic principle of multi group structural equation model analysis technique and its use method in the study of Applied Linguistics to domestic applied linguistics intends to use the method which will provide examples of reference.
