Comparing Meta-Analytic Structural Equation Modeling Approaches across Model Assumptions Using an Empirical Example
Direct linkDirect link
Ashley Hannah Majzun – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Meta-analytic Structural Equation Modeling (MASEM) is the combination of meta-analysis (MA) and structural equation modeling (SEM). With new MASEM methodologies developed over the past few years, there is an opportunity to compare the past approaches with the new ones. The purpose of this dissertation is two-fold. First, the parameter estimates,…
