｜Abstract｜
Structural equation modeling (SEM) is an advanced statistical analysis
that enables to test various types of mediation modeling. This paper
introduces the structural equation modeling (SEM) with the focus of
measurement model testing, mediation analysis, and SEM with a full
measurement model. It also discusses different types of estimation
methods to deal with dataset such as non-normality of data distribution
and missingness of the data. This paper provides a useful guideline for
analysis of social science research that uses survey data.

Key words: structural equation modeling (SEM), mediation model,
