Gender difference

[Jan83]

Hey everyone,

how can i test a model for different gender?

can i put the control variable "gender" into the model?

i don't understand how to do

Hi,
Used PLS-MGA (Multigroup Analysis) and split dataset (male and female) for test it. Some procedure available:
- Moderation Approach
- Non-Parametric Approach
- Permutation test

but where can i find pls-mga?

is this option still in the programm?

[Hengkov]

Hi Jan,
You estimate each group (male and famale) and used 1 of 3 approach above.
I recommendation you used Smith-Saterwaite Test (see formula in Henseler, J. 2012. PLS-MGA in PLS Literature-free download) or Non-Parametric Approach with sample bootstrap (compare centered each group).
Best Regards,
Hengky

Although this video describes doing group analysis for PLS, the technique is basically the same.

You divide your file in two, then run the analysis on both. To determine if you have a signficant results, you can conduct a t test if the parameter estimates’ standard deviations are equal. The author in the video has an excel file that will do this. Or you can use C. Ringle's file included in the downloads for chapter 8 of his book here:
