다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Researchers dealing with behavior, especially those who observe symptoms and the consequences in a study, face to difficulties in showing the validity of the response variables(e.g. depression) since the variables are not the one which represents real theoretical interest but merely some convenient variables. Over many years, numerous statistical models have been developed for dealing with the relationship between theoretical unobservable variables. The statistical analysis of theoretical variables can be done without much effort due to computer software packages such as SPSS, BMDP, SAS, and LISREL. Such a statistical model often referred to as the LISREL-type structural equation model. This paper present (1) the concept of the LISREL-type structural equation model in a view of the factor analysis and the path analysis and (2) the usage of several computer software packages.
