  Comparison of Covariance-Based Structural Equation Model and Partial Least Squares Equality Models
  Author(s): Duygu Vargor* and Tuncay Ogretmen
  
  The aim of this research is to compare the differences between the objectives, distribution assumptions, sample sizes, parameters, fit indices, and measurement models of the covariance-based structural equation model (CB-SEM) and the partial and consistent partial least squares structural equation models (PLS-SEM and PLSc-SEM) to contribute to future studies. Data from Turkey's Information and Communication (ICT) scale of the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) for the year 2018 was used. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was initially conducted on the data from a sample of 5963 individuals, followed by confirmatory factor Analysis (CFA) using CB-SEM, PLS-SEM, and PLSc-SEM. CFA was performed by obtaining normal and non-normal distributions from the same sample data. The structure validity and reliability, goodness-of-fit indices, item parameters, and latent variabl..
