Error in lavaan - missing observed values

[Kyung Mi Lee]

 Hello, I am new to using the lavaan package and got an error message,

"Error in lavaan::lavaan(model = sr.model, data = data1, model.type = "sem",  : 

  lavaan ERROR: missing observed variables in dataset: social".

I can't understand it because I succeeded in the CFA and that means there are observed variables in the dataset.

Could you take a look at my model and do me a favor?

#step1-cfa analysis

cfa.model <-
'cog =~ FAC1+FAC2
facil =~ FAC3+FAC4
trust =~ T1+T2
rule =~ Q2_8_1+Q2_8_2+Q2_8_3
social =~ sol1+sol2'
cfa.out <- cfa(cfa.model, data1)
summary(cfa.out, fit.measures=T, standardized=T)

library(semPlot)
semPaths(cfa.out)
semPaths(cfa.out, style="lisrel")

#step2-SR

sr.model <-
'cog =~ FAC1+FAC2
facil =~ FAC3+FAC4
trust =~ T1+T2
rule =~ Q2_8_1+Q2_8_2+Q2_8_3
socail =~ sol1+sol2
trust ~ cog+facil
rule ~ cog+facil
social ~ cog+facil+rule+trust

cog ~~ facil'

sr.out <- sem(sr.model, data1)
summary(sr.out, fit.measures=T, standardized=T)
summary(sr.out, fit.measures=T, standardized=T, rsquare=T)

Not sure if this is the issue or not, but in step 2, you spelled social as socail.

Wow! I appreciate your kind response.

Thanks to you I solved the problem.

In the second model syntax, the first appearance of "social" is miss-typed as "socail". That is why, when you come to the later structural model syntax line and you mention "social," lavaan assumes it must be an observed variable--which is not present in your data set. Hence the error message about "social."

I really appreciate your kind explanation. 

Thanks to you I can understand what lavaan wants to say now.

Have a nice day!
