Year of foundation 1986

The Working Group „Structural Equation Modeling“ was founded in 1986 and had its first meeting at ZUMA (now GESIS) in Mannheim. Meetings will be in April or May each year depending on the local organizer who will be elected in the respective previous meeting. Members of the group are coming from various disciplines, for example Psychology, Sociology, Political Science, Economy. The Working Group has an informal character. There is no affiliation to any research organization. Exchange and presentation of methodological problems in structural equation modeling and related fields are the main goal of the group. The presentation of current research problems on the meetings with questions from the speaker to the audience are highly recommended.
