Abstract
In this chapter I will illustrate fitting a factor model within a MASEM analysis using the metaSEM package. The data come from a meta-analysis performed by Fan et al. (Personality and Individual Differences 48(7):781–785, 2010), who collected correlation matrices of the 8 subscales of a test to measure “Emotional intelligence” from 19 studies. The preparation of the data, and the fixed and random effects Stage 1 analyses are explained step by step. Next, the Stage 2 factor model is fit to the pooled correlation matrix from the random effects Stage 1 analysis. All steps that have to be taken to perform the analyses are discussed, as well as the relevant output.
