Abstract
In social sciences, differences can be found across a range of disciplines such as economics, sociology, and psychology. Yet, approaches employed in structural equation modeling (SEM) to studying differences are limited. For instance, they do not model the difference or can only include the difference as a predictor, rather than as an outcome variable. As a consequence, researchers are revented from exploiting SEM's full potential when it comes to studying differences.
In my presentation, I address this limitation and present a modification of the recently introduced refined Henseler-Ogasawara (H-O) specification to model differences in SEM. This specification allows for flexibly modeling differences in SEM and can mimic the results of extant approaches. In addition, it allows to assess whether a difference fully transmits the effects of its components. To demonstrate the application of the proposed specification, an illustrative example is provided.
