How do I include background variables (e.g. age, gender) in a structural model


when using AMOS a model?
I am using AMOS to validate two behavioral models: the theory of planned behavior  (TPB) and the
integrated behavioral model (IBM), using data collected in a behavioral study. I managed to do run
measurement models for both models as well as the structural model for TPB. I am however not sure how
to include background variables such as age, gender, worry (latent variable) in the IBM structural model.

1. Demographics traits of the population can be employed as control variable if


literature supports. Otherwise, model can be run without control variables. Often,
demographic traits are used for moderating effects
2. There is a simple guide, see the link. Basically you need to add a covariate (a possibly
confounding variable, e.g. age/gender) and draw a regression line from it onto all
other variables that should be controled for the effect of this covariate. I hope the
youtube will help.
Good luck with you research!
