If structural equation modelling is applied to test effects of interest, the investigation of differential strength of effects will typically ask how parameters of a latent variable model are influenced by categorical or continuous moderators, such as age, socio-economic status, personality traits, etc. Traditional approaches to continuous moderators in SEMs predominantly address linear moderation effects, risking the oversight of nonlinear effects. Moreover, some approaches have methodological limitations, for example, the need to categorise moderators or to pre-specify parametric forms of moderation. This tutorial introduces local structural equation modelling (LSEM) in a non-technical way. LSEM is a nonparametric approach that allows the analysis of nonlinear moderation effects without the above-mentioned limitations. Using an empirical dataset, we demonstrate the implementation of LSEM through the R-sirt package, emphasising its versatility in both exploratory analysis of nonlinear moderation without prior knowledge and confirmatory testing of hypothesised moderation functions. The tutorial also addresses common modelling issues and extends the discussion to different application scenarios, demonstrating its flexibility.</p>","PeriodicalId":48146,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychology","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11626091/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142477911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Missing data methods, such as full information maximum likelihood (FIML) and multiple imputation (MI), are best practice methods of handling missing data. However, FIML or MI are rarely used to handle missing data when testing mediation models, instead analyses used listwise deletion methods, the default in popular software. Compared to listwise deletion, the implementation of FIML or MI to handle missing data reduces parameter estimate bias, while maintaining the sample collected to maximise power and generalizability of results. In this tutorial, we review how to implement full-information maximum likelihood and MI using best practice methods of testing the indirect effect. We demonstrate how to implement these methods using both R and JASP, which are both free, open-source software programmes and provide online supplemental materials for these demonstrations.
