Figure 24-1: Two-factor model for girls and boys
This is the same two-group factor analysis problem that was considered in Example 12.
The results obtained in Example 12 will be obtained here automatically.
Specifying the Model
E From the menus, choose File > Open.
E In the Open dialog box, double-click the file Ex24a.amw. In a typical installation, the
path will be:
C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Amos\21Examples\<language>\Ex24a.amw.
The path diagram is the same for boys as for girls and is shown in Figure 24-1. Some
regression weights are fixed at 1. These regression weights will remain fixed at 1
throughout the analysis to follow. The assisted multiple-group analysis adds
constraints to the model you specify but does not remove any constraints.
Opening the Multiple-Group Analysis Dialog Box
E From the menus, choose Analyze > Multiple-Group Analysis.
E Click OK in the message box that appears. This opens the Multiple-Group Analysis
dialog box.
