In this video, I provide a walk-through of how to perform a test of a second-order factor analysis using the lavaan package in R Studio. I begin the video with a discussion of the difference between a first order factor model and a second order factor model. I proceed to demonstrate how to run the analyses using syntax in lavaan.
