STATA table & SEM modelling. Please help!

[Ella Elizabeth]

Hi all!

I am currently a 3rd-year student doing my dissertation. I am still relatively new to STATA so trying to find my feet with it all.
For my dissertation, I have taken inspiration from this paper but for a different topic but the foundations of the methodology and data analysis route are very similar.
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf...58244020932918, titled "Mobile Banking Adoption: Examining the Role of Personality Traits"

However, I am having difficulty understanding the STATA command codes that may have been used to form these sort of tables. In particular table 2, 3 and 4.

Table 2: Measurement Scale and Reliability Values
Table 3: Means, Standard Deviation, and Discriminant Validity
Table 4: Standardized Path Coefficients.

I have already collected data and my questions measurement uses the Likert scale. I have used the alpha v1 v2 v3 command to group my questions into variables as well.
I've been on youtube and sites for hours wondering how to achieve these tables. Does anyone know how to approach this?

I would be very thankful for any advice and help.

Many thanks,
E

Hey Ella,

I can´t replicate the tables exactly without their data, but from my experience I can hint you to some useful commands:

Table 2 seems to require a lot of customization. You might want to try asdoc (for Word or RTF) or texsave (for LaTeX). They have examples in their respective help files.

For Table 3 and Table 4 you can try estout (or its wrapper esttab). Here you can find an example for a correlation matrix (as the right part of Table 3 seems to be similar to such a matrix)

Hope that helps!
Sebastian
