Assessing the Efficacy of Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling for Estimating Cross-level Interactions

• In Event: Electronic Board Session I

Abstract

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of multilevel structural equation modeling (MSEM) to assess cross-level interaction effects without creating proxy measures based on group means or group-centered variables which has been used in conventional multilevel modeling (MLM). To achieve the goal, this study includes Monte Carlo simulation.
