The goal of the course is to introduce modern statistical methodology - structural equation modeling. Students will learn the basic concepts and skills that will allow them to build measurement models of psychological constructs, determine their quality, study the relationships of latent variables using the R programming language. The course is designed for clinical psychologists who plan to engage in scientific research using modern quantitative methods or get acquainted with modern foreign professional publications. An understanding of the types of design common in clinical psychology will contribute to the correct planning of scientific research. Basic skills of working with the statistical analysis language R, fundamentals of modeling with structural equations will provide an opportunity to check the quality of measurement models and their invariance, to carry out research on complex relationships of latent variables
