Instats is excited to offer a 2-day seminar, , July 12 – 19 and led by professor Scott Colwell from the University of Guelph. Ensuring that your measurement instruments are both reliable and valid is foundational to high-quality research across the social and health sciences, and this workshop shows you how to achieve that goal using the power of Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Across two intensive sessions, Dr Colwell will demystify latent variable modeling, walk you through best practices for evaluating reliability and validity, and demonstrate practical workflows in Mplus and R. You will leave with the skills to interpret model fit indices, decompose variance-covariance matrices, assess convergent and discriminant validity, and craft publication-ready write-ups—giving you a comprehensive toolkit for strengthening the credibility of your findings.
