Overview
Practical and up-to-date, Structural Equation Modeling includes chapters on major aspects of the structural equation modeling approach to research design and data analysis. The chapters, written by internationally recognized leaders in the development and application of structural equation modeling, target graduate students and seasoned researchers in the social and behavioral sciences who wish to understand the basic concepts and issues associated with the structural equation modeling approach as well as potential applications to research problems. Although technically sound, the chapters are primarily nontechnical in content and style, a characteristic that makes the volume an excellent introduction to the structural equation modeling approach for readers who have a firm grasp on traditional inferential statistics.Editorials
