Summary/Abstract: Relationships between separate variable are the common subject to quantitative researchers. In this article an alternative approach is demonstrated: structural equation modelling (SEM) by weighted least squares means and variance adjusted estimation (WLSMV), which makes possible to assess relationships between batteries of variables (theoretical constructs), including categorical ones. Analysis is based on the results of a research carried out in 2015 and the focus is put on determinants of unilateral decision-making in the household. The study examines the way factors, such as: mental attitude towards work, position at work, strength of character, open attitude towards others, importance of own appearance, affect willingness to making decisions in the household. Analysis is also performed for financial and non-financial decisive areas separately.
