Metaanálisis, Modelos de ecuaciones estructurales, Síntesis de la evidencia , MASEMResumen
El meta-análisis con modelos de ecuaciones estructurales (Meta-Analytic Structural Equation Modeling, MASEM) es una metodología novedosa de síntesis de la evidencia que combina las ventajas del metaanálisis tradicional con los modelos de ecuaciones estructurales, permitiendo explorar relaciones complejas entre variables a través de la integración de estudios independientes. Este tutorial ofrece una introducción accesible a la metodología MASEM, incluyendo los conceptos fundamentales, los pasos metodológicos para su implementación, y una aplicación práctica usando software estadístico libre. El objetivo es proporcionar a los investigadores una comprensión sólida y las herramientas necesarias para aplicar MASEM en sus propios estudios. Para ello se aborda desde la preparación de datos hasta la interpretación de resultados, destacando tanto las fortalezas como las limitaciones de esta metodología.
