Then, based on a simplified model we consider the three stages to make an application; after we present path analysis which is a way to analyse Structural Equations Models and a special case called Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Finally we make an application based on the study monitoring the Future as an example of Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
