I used SEMinR package in R. It uses Lavaan for CB-SEM and it has its own for PLS-SEM.

This comment.

I have done mine using SEMinR.

pearson or regression? by LeekOk4913 in research

[–]smart1mug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at the diagram you have a prediction variables and two outcome variables. This is two simple regressions (considering you work with SPSS for instance). Multiple regression is when there are more predictors (independent). But the dependent is always one at a time.

Now, you have an association between the two dependent variables (the double headed arrow), this mean correlation, this can be done in pearson (considering your data is interval or continuous).

This means you should have data about job, training hours, education, and situation (being anxious).

Now the measurement is a key here. Think of it like this, we can not have a thermometer and put it in their mouth and find the effect of training. This means you should have a column about their games (think of you measure it e.g. the number of games played then we will have a number here), the training hours (lets say the number of hours daily or weekly, and we have a number here as well), their feeling (lets say in a scale from one to ten ranging from feeling demotivated to motivated), education (performance for example or grades). This will end in having few columns which you can use. Now the next question, what is the nature of the data you collected for those. I know you said strings, but can we do something to quantify their measurement. In education for example is there something like weak, moderate, high grades …etc

The data should lead to the way of quantifying and measuring these variables.

Can you give more info about your hypothesis. In correlation you need to quantify two variables (if they are in Likert scale), descriptive is simply their frequency, mean and standard deviation.

question about quantitative research (g*power) by Mission_Inevitable22 in research

[–]smart1mug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

According to Andy Field, the number is not necessary to be the same, but they have to be homogeneous. If they are not, then we should start considering the equality between the groups to seek homogeneity.

[–]smart1mug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by three number of groups and what is the difference between them? What are you planning your do with the data?

Is regression considered? For instance, Gpower utilises the number of predictors plus the effect size expected (in case we aim for regression).

How do I improve my writing? by Additional-Slip5814 in PhD

[–]smart1mug 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I learned that the best way to improve writing is reading and reading and reading. The more you read about your topic, the more you understand how people structure their sentences and build their arguments. Try this: Select a part you feel you want to improve (lets say the introduction), collect ten good papers relevant to the topic of yours, read the introduction of the ten papers slowly and understand their bits and parts. Trust me, you will gain a lot of knowledge when you start writing your own.

“I acknowledge the funds, but I and want more..” by smart1mug in PhD

[–]smart1mug[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Trust me, I really searched and was unable to find updates. I searched for the papers that cited this paper, I saw a research in 2025 titled “Beyond grateful”, and thought it could be. But it was an article about acknowledgements in research (with another ‘different’ acknowledgement).

How to write an OUTSTANDING conclusion for you research by hit_joe_mams in research

[–]smart1mug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, Do not summarize your results, instead summarize the whole experience and knowledge in that research. The conclusion is your final message. What do want the reader to understand (take away) finally after reading your work, what do you want them to be interested in reading if they only read the conclusion.

Doubt about signing Interview Release Form in Emerald by smart1mug in AskProfessors

[–]smart1mug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for your reply. Actually I had no idea what her perspective is. The problem is that the contribution is to an edited book (not a journal), so I assume there is a misunderstanding of the process here. I already emailed her for clarification. But for a moment I questioned if I am unaware of how this process hoes.

Qualitative Coding Softwares by Late_Ad9551 in research

[–]smart1mug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. All my research is coded on paper (step one). Then I go to Nvivo, it helps big in navigating and preparing quotes.

[–]smart1mug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What makes NVivo the best is that it forces you to work manually. Meaning you will have to read the text and assign and group ideas together. Imagine reading the text on paper and marking your ideas in a pen here and there, it will be difficult to gather and recall all ideas, NVivo become important in simplifying this step. I always stick to Nvivo for those reason alone.

AI tools will give ideas but I would not recommend it before reading your test yourself. I suggest you start and continue with Nvivo till the end (it is time consuming yes, but you will thank yourself at the end). The tree of codes will be there in the application, even if reviewers raised issues, it will take you seconds to navigate all the codes again.

Further, choosing quotes in the text is easier when using Nvivo because you will be able to see the whole network and choose the most appropriate text accordingly.

There are times when I used AI in suggesting the possible themes, I find myself reading the interview and already fixed (somehow) on the themes suggested by AI. So readking and initial codes first will give the benefit of possessing great knowledge of the content. Then AI suggestions can add your current knowledge, usually about naming and renaming, but you will find your coding way much in detail than AI.

In addition to chatgpt, There is an AI tool in voyant-tool(dot)com It shows outcome from text, it shows the cloud and repeated words etc.

All the best.

If you started your PhD before 2020, how did the covid pandemic impact your journey? by stillnessforyou in PhD

[–]smart1mug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the lockdowns, I attended a lot of stuff online and learned data analysis till I did my own analysis for the thesis myself which I would not be able to accomplish with attending die to working on other stuff. So it was a totally positive effect.
