Lecture Abstract
While the underlying theory and approaches to undertaking latent moderation analysis using structural equation modeling have been understood for decades, most researchers rely to this date upon regression analysis to test their moderation hypotheses even though the measurement models defining their selected measures are strong. Among the excuses given for this practice is that using SEM to do so is impractical and requires a level of understanding that is beyond the reach of the typical researcher. This webcast will dispel the latter using the R routine, modsem (Slupphaug, 2024). Modsem is truly groundbreaking which I hope to illustrate by reviewing it in this webcast.

Robert (Bob) Vandenberg is the Robert O. Arnold Professor of Business Emeritus in the Terry College of Business at the University of Georgia. Bob retired from academia in August 2022. However, he remains active professionally by currently serving on the boards of the Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Management, and Organizational Research Methods (ORM). Further, he has continued interest in the development of and refinement of structural equation methods and passes that knowledge onto others through CARMA short courses. He is a fellow of the Academy of Management and the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology. He was the chair of the Research Methods Division of the Academy of Management in 2001 from whom he received its Distinguished Career Award in 2010.
