Abstract

GSCA Pro is free, user-friendly software for generalized structured component analysis structural equation modeling (GSCA-SEM), which implements three statistical methods for estimating models with factors only, models with components only, and models with both factors and components. This tutorial aims to provide step-by-step illustrations of how to use the software to estimate such various models after briefly discussing model specification, estimation, and evaluation in GSCA-SEM.
