Confirmatory factor analysis using Stata (2023)

In this video I analyze the Holzinger and Swineford (1939) data using Stata according to an example by Whittaker and Schumacker (2022). In this video, I demonstrate how to specify confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) models using the Stata SEM builder. I also provide interpretations as I go along with the demonstrations.

A copy of the data can be downloaded here:
