BEFORE reading the Acquaye article, read this: 

  • A structural equation model is a story told with key elements thought to be important.  This story is about growth after trauma, and looks to see what elements might be important and the interaction between them. 
  • This model has five nodes (elements): War, PTSD, Optimism, Religious Commitment and Growth with arrows connecting them (arrow direction shows direction of influence) 
  • Don’t worry about statistical details – read for general concepts and outcomes. (For R-squared = 1.0 would mean the variables perfectly account for all variation in the data; . R-squared = 0.0 would mean they explain nothing (find a different model). With only 5 primary variables, the model reached an R-squared of 40-50% – very good.
