Abstract

In the last thirty years the use of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) has been increasing in an exponential manner. Such is this increase that we are witnessing, sometimes a use so far from the correct and appropriate practice with this type of multivariate statistical technique. In this short paper we want to make a presentation of the different stages to follow in the use of SEM, and a presentation of the most common options and recommendations to consider in those same phases.
