Structural Equation Modeling: A Second Course (Quantitative Methods in Education and the Behavioral Sciences: Issues Research and Teaching)

About this book

Sponsored by the American Educational Research Associations Special Interest Group for Educational Statisticians This volume is the second edition of Hancock and Muellers highly-successful 2006 volume with all of the original chapters updated as well as four new chapters. The second edition like the first is intended to serve as a didactically-oriented resource for graduate students and research professionals covering a broad range of advanced topics often not discussed in introductory courses on structural equation modeling (SEM). Such topics are important in furthering the understanding of foundations and assumptions underlying SEM as well as in exploring SEM as a potential tool to address new types of research questions that might not have arisen during a first course. Chapters focus on the clear explanation and application of topics rather than on analytical derivations and contain materials from popular SEM software.
