Research outputs 2014 to 2021

Partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) provides researchers with a predictive tool for theory building. In an attempt to understand deviant behaviour which can potentially become a criminal offence, PLS-SEM opens up a valuable mean to analyse latent constructs are designed from a composite of indicators. At its basic, this is called a first-order variable. Using the first-order variable in a basic predictor-criterion research model illuminates in-depth structure on how each component of these variables affects each other. However, as an analysis moves to a more complex level, the first-order variable poses a great challenge to the researchers. This …
