1. Review the PowerPoint on Using AMOS. Then reproduce the simple four variable system discussed in class. Be care to follow all steps in the presentation, including the saving of the model and the identification of the data set.


2. Once you are comfortable you can produce a model, go to ICPSR and download a data set that is of interest. Select your own four to six varaible system and experiment with it in AMOS.


3. Once you have a model that you are comfortable has a sufficient R-squared, cut and pasted into Word the screen capture of the finished model with the path coefficients labeled.


Bring both outputs to class together with a short summary of the database, the variables and the results.
