description Purpose: This study develops a checklist with guidelines for the methods and important factors to consider in research using structural equation modeling (SEM). Method: The paper discusses the factors to consider in the process across the three stages of 1) model setting, 2) model evaluation and modification, and 3) interpretation and reporting of SEM-based studies. Results: The authors present a checklist for researchers during the stages of model setting, model evaluation and modification, result analysis, and reporting, along with examples of figures and tables with explanations. Conclusion: A checklist will help to improve the reporting quality of SEM-based studies.
