Video 3 Chapter 6 Structural model

Structural Model Assessment

Once measurement passes, assess the structural model: path coefficients and their significance, R², f² effect sizes, Q²predict, and bootstrap confidence intervals on indirect effects.

What you'll learn

  • Interpret standardized path coefficients and their bootstrap significance
  • Report R² and adjusted R² for endogenous constructs
  • Compute and interpret f² effect sizes
  • Use Q²predict to evaluate out-of-sample predictive relevance
  • Read total, direct, and indirect effects from the SEMinR summary

R practice in this video

This tutorial pairs with Video 3 in the series. Full write-up will land when the video is published. Chapter 6 of Hair et al. (2026) has the theoretical treatment, and the code file seminr-primer-v2-chap6.R has the runnable example.
