Abstract: Lavaan is a free package in R used for performing structural equation modelling. Its intuitive and flexible syntax makes it a great option for estimating simple and complex models. The training will provide a handson introduction to lavaan. It will cover (a) preparing data, (b) specifying and estimating models, (c) modification indices, (d) model comparison, and (e) extracting parameters and fit statistics. The main focus will be on fitting confirmatory factor analytic models to multiple item psychological questionnaires. Lecturestyle presentation will be combined with practical exercises. On successful completion of the training, participants should be able to perform confirmatory factor analysis on their own data. Prior experience using R will be helpful but is not essential.
