Tóm tắt	Bayesian survey research applies Bayesian statistical inference to survey data, combining prior knowledge or beliefs about population parameters with observed questionnaire responses to produce posterior probability distributions. Unlike null-hypothesis significance testing, this approach quantifies uncertainty directly, incorporates prior evidence, and yields probabilistic statements about parameters of interest — making it especially powerful for small samples, sequential data collection, and contexts where substantive prior knowledge exists.	Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a comprehensive statistical framework combining path analysis (Sewall Wright, 1921) and confirmatory factor analysis to test complex causal models linking observed and latent variables. Formalized by Jöreskog (1973) with LISREL software, SEM enables simultaneous estimation of measurement relationships (how variables measure latent constructs) and structural relationships (how constructs influence outcomes), making it powerful for theory testing in psychology, epidemiology, organizational research, and health sciences where complex mediation, moderation, and latent processes require integrated analysis.
