What are the main differences between multilevel modelling and structural equation modelling?
What will be an ideal response?
Traditionally SEM doesn’t allow us to model the hierarchical structure of a lot of our data in the way multilevel modelling can. On the other hand, multilevel modelling doesn’t allow us to incorporate complex path structures like SEM can. However, work is underway on the development of multilevel SEM, which allows us to do both. Currently it is still largely limited to models with no more than two levels (for example, school and pupil, but not as yet school, classroom and pupil).
