Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a frequently used multivariate technique in social, psychology, educational, behavioral science. Meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) combines the ideas of metaanalysis and structural equation modeling for the purpose of synthesizing correlation or covariance matrices and fitting structural equation models on the pooled correlation or covariance matrix. A two-stage structural equation modeling (TSSEM) approach to conducting MASEM that was based on a fixed-effects model will be introduced. To introduce the operation of metaSEM package for multivariate meta-analyst, we are adopt the fixed-effects model, assumes that the population correlation matrices based on TSSEM, to analyze the instance data.
