Özet
The data collected in order to test the research questions in social sciences usually have multilevel data \nstructures. Because of the limitations of single level analysis, the violation of independence of observations \nassumption in empirical studies was ignored; either groups or individuals were used as units in the analysis for a \nlong period of time. Such kinds of problems in the studies with hierarchical/clustered data brought about the \ndevelopment of multilevel modeling techniques. Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling allows developing \ndifferent models which can be tested for each level of the hierarchical data (within group and between groups) \nsimultaneously. In current study, it was aimed to investigate two-level structural model by using data generated \nfrom the Monte Carlo data generation facility of Mplus program and to present a demonstration for researchers. \nWithin this context, the model was introduced using the analysis performed by Mplus 5.1, the Mplus syntax used \nin the analysis was explained and the interpretation of the model parameters was discussed.
