+**Structural Equation Modeling** (SEM) is a sophisticated statistical methodology for analyzing complex relationships between observed and [Latent Variables](/wiki/latent_variable). It enables researchers to test hypothesized causal pathways and model direct and indirect effects within a single framework. SEM integrates concepts from [Factor Analysis](/wiki/factor_analysis) and [Regression](/wiki/regression) to evaluate intricate theoretical models with data.
