Emphasizing concepts and rationale over mathematical minutiae, this is
the most widely used, complete, and accessible structural equation
modeling (SEM) text. Continuing the tradition of using real data
examples from a variety of disciplines, the significantly revised
fourth edition incorporates recent developments such as Pearl's
graphing theory and the structural causal model (SCM), measurement
invariance, and more. Readers gain a comprehensive understanding of
all phases of SEM, from data collection and screening to the
interpretation and reporting of the results. Learning is enhanced by
exercises with answers, rules to remember, and topic boxes. The
companion website supplies data, syntax, and output for the book's
examples--now including files for Amos, EQS, LISREL, Mplus, Stata, and
R (lavaan). New to This Edition *Extensively revised to cover
important new topics: Pearl's graphing theory and the SCM, causal
inference frameworks, conditional process modeling, path models for
longitudinal data, item response theory, and more. *Chapters on best
practices in all stages of SEM, measurement invariance in confirmatory
factor analysis, and significance testing issues and bootstrapping.
*Expanded coverage of psychometrics. *Additional computer tools:
online files for all detailed examples, previously provided in EQS,
LISREL, and Mplus, are now also given in Amos, Stata, and R (lavaan).
*Reorganized to cover the specification, identification, and analysis
of observed variable models separately from latent variable models.
Pedagogical Features *Exercises with answers, plus end-of-chapter
annotated lists of further reading. *Real examples of troublesome
data, demonstrating how to handle typical problems in analyses. *Topic
boxes on specialized issues, such as causes of nonpositive definite
correlations. *Boxed rules to remember. *Website promoting a
learn-by-doing approach, including syntax and data files for six
widely used SEM computer tools.
