Principles and Practice of Structural Equation Modeling (Third Edition)
It’s not often in life that you get three chances at something. Thus, it was a privilege for
me to write the third edition of this book. This edition builds on the strengths of the
second by presenting structural equation modeling (SEM) in a clear, accessible way for
readers without extensive quantitative backgrounds. Many new examples of the applica-
tion of SEM to actual research problems are included in this edition, but, like the second
edition, these examples come from a wide range of disciplines, including education,
psychometrics, business, and psychology. I selected some of these examples because
there were technical problems in the analysis, such as when output from a computer
program contains error messages. These “troublesome” examples give a context for dis-
cussing how to handle various problems that can crop up in SEM analyses. That is, not
all applications of SEM described in this book are picture perfect, but neither are actual
research problems.
