The author reviews SEM applications based on actual data taken from her own research. Using non-mathematical language, it is written for the novice SEM user. With each application chapter, the author \"walks\" the reader through all steps involved in testing the SEM model including:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ean explanation of the issues addressed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eillustrated and annotated testing of the hypothesized and post hoc models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eexplanation and interpretation of all M\u003cem\u003eplus\u003c\/em\u003e input and output files\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eimportant caveats pertinent to the SEM application under study\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea description of the data and reference upon which the model was based\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe corresponding data and syntax files available under \"Supplementary Material\" below\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first two chapters introduce the fundamental concepts of SEM and important basics of the M\u003cem\u003eplus\u003c\/em\u003e program. The remaining chapters focus on SEM applications and include a variety of SEM models presented within the context of three sections: Single-group analyses, Multiple-group analyses, and other important topics, the latter of which includes the multitrait-multimethod, latent growth curve, and multilevel models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntended for researchers, practitioners, and students who use SEM and M\u003cem\u003eplus\u003c\/em\u003e, this book is an ideal resource for graduate level courses on SEM taught in psychology, education, business, and other social and health sciences and\/or as a supplement for courses on applied statistics, multivariate statistics, intermediate or advanced statistics, and\/or research design. Appropriate for those with limited exposure to SEM or M\u003cem\u003eplus\u003c\/em\u003e, a prerequisite of basic statistics through regression analysis is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54071127408984,"sku":null,"price":71.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/structural-equation-modeling-with-mplus-basic-concepts-applications-and-programming","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
