Abstract: The methodology based on models of structural equations can be of great help in investigations. In return, its application involves a thorough process that must be rigorously followed, in order to validate the reliability of the conclusions drawn by the studies. The objective of this article is to describe this process applied in a case related to consumer behavior, especially in the study of the factors that favor fidelity among Facebook users. A descriptive study was designed, including a self-administered questionnaire hosted on a website to a sample of 371 users over 18 who access Facebook at least once a month, the data was collected and analyzed applying the methodology of structural equations for the contrast of the model. As a result, 13 of the 15 hypotheses proposed could be endorsed, which allowed knowing some of the factors that favor the loyalty of Facebook users, also contributing to verify the suitability of the structural equation models as the main methodology in the investigations in the area of social sciences.
