This tutorial provides the reader with a basic tutorial on how to perform a regression analysis in lavaan. Throughout this tutorial, the reader will be guided through importing datafiles, exploring summary statistics and regression analyses. Here, we will exclusively focus on frequentist statistics. : Since we continuously improve the tutorials, let us know via Github (https://github.com/Rensvandeschoot/Tutorials) if you discover mistakes, or if you have additional resources we can refer to. : {"references": ["Benjamin, D.
