Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is a powerful statistical technique used to investigate relationships between observed and latent variables. Latent variables are constructs that cannot be directly measured but are inferred from observed variables. SEM allows researchers to test hypotheses about the relationships between these variables and to estimate the strength and direction of those relationships.
