Instats is excited to offer a 2-day seminar, , running Livestreaming Aug 19-20 by professor Scott Colwell from the University of Guelph. Ensuring that your scales truly capture the constructs you intend to measure is fundamental to high-quality social and health science research, and this workshop gives you a comprehensive roadmap for doing exactly that. Across two intensive days, Dr Colwell will demystify key psychometric concepts—latent variables, reliability, convergent and discriminant validity—while walking you through hands-on CFA implementation in Mplus and R. You’ll review EFA foundations, learn to decompose variance-covariance matrices, interpret fit indices and modification indices, and write publication-ready methodological sections, ultimately leaving with a toolkit for confidently validating even complex measurement models.
