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).
