Exploratory Structural Equation Modelling: Practical Guidelines and Video Tutorial for Mplus



Published
In this video we provide (a) a brief overview of ESEM (and different ESEM models/approaches), (b) guidelines for novice researchers on how to estimate, compare, report and interpret ESEM, and (c) a step-by-step tutorial on how to run ESEM analyses in Mplus with the De Beer and Van Zyl (2019) ESEM syntax generator.

The ESEM Syntax Generator can be found here:
