Structural Equation Analysis is appropriate for assessing both the reliability of measurements (through the assessment of measurement models) and the correlations among conceptual variables (through the assessment of structural models) in a single analysis. This approach allows for the modeling of relationships between observed variables and latent constructs, as well as among the latent constructs themselves.
