Path Analysis
![Page 2: Path Analysis. Remember What Multiple Regression Tells Us How each individual IV is related to the DV The total amount of variance explained in a DV Multiple.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649eda5503460f94be9673/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Remember What Multiple Regression Tells Us
• How each individual IV is related to the DV
• The total amount of variance explained in a DV
• Multiple regression is VERY DV CENTRIC!!!
• We know NOTHING about how the IV’s are related

What is Path Analysis?
• Another way to do Multiple Regression
• A special case of multiple regression where all the relationships among variables can be estimated simultaneously
![Page 4: Path Analysis. Remember What Multiple Regression Tells Us How each individual IV is related to the DV The total amount of variance explained in a DV Multiple.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649eda5503460f94be9673/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What do you mean Simultaneously?
• Estimate correlations among your IV’s• Estimate regression relationships in the
model• You can make all the variables related to
one another and find out what the relationship is exactly!
• All the regression analyses we did in SPSS can be done in path analysis

Example
• Lets say you are interested in the extent to which intellectual activities mediate the relationship between education and cognition

SPSS
• SPSS tells you about mediation• SPSS tells you the relationship between
– Intellectual activities and cognition– Education and cognition
• SPSS doesn’t tell you anything about the relationship between education and intellectual activities

• If we wanted to get the same results in SPSS we would have to do a bunch of different models– Education predicts cognition– Activities predicts cognition– Both Predict cognition
• If we had more than three variables you can see how this could get impossible

Benefits of Path Analysis
• Estimate all the relationships among all variables SIMULTANEOUSLY
• Able to test various hypothesis regarding different relationships
• Most programs you do path analysis in having Missing Data Estimation procedures!!!– SPSS uses list-wise deletion

Statistical Packages for Path Analysis
• Path analysis is the precursor to Structural Equation Modeling
• Any SEM program can do path analysis– AMOS– LISREL– EQS
![Page 12: Path Analysis. Remember What Multiple Regression Tells Us How each individual IV is related to the DV The total amount of variance explained in a DV Multiple.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649eda5503460f94be9673/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
AMOS
• AMOS is now bundled with SPSS
• It is the EASIEST program to use
• It’s ease is based on the fact that you actually DRAW your models right in the program!!!

AMOS practice
• Education and activity engagement are predictors of cognition. Also allow education and activity to correlate
– EDUCATION (educ), activity (activ), cognition (cog)
