UBCSEM Lab

Welcome! This is a site for the UBC Structural Equation Modeling Lab (UBCSEM Lab), located in the Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia, and directed by Dr. Victoria Savalei.

We conduct cutting-edge research in the area of SEM for psychological and behavioral science data. SEM is a powerful statistical modeling tool that allows researchers to test complex theories involving multiple observed and latent variables.
