Application 4: Testing the validity of a causal structure -- Section III. Multiple-group analysis. Confirmatory factor analytic models. Application 5: Testing factorial invariance of scales from a measurement scale (first-order CFA model) -- Application 6: Testing invariance of latent mean structures (first-order CFA model) -- Full latent variable model -- Application 7: Testing invariance of a causal structure (full structural equation model) -- Section IV. Other important applications. Application 8: Testing evidence of construct validity: the multitrait-multimethod model -- Application 9: Testing change over time: the latent growth curve model -- Section V. Other important topics. Application 10: Use of bootstrapping in addressing nonnormal data -- Application 11: Addressing the issues of missing data.
Abstract "This bestselling text provides a practical guide to structural equation modeling (SEM) using the Amos Graphical approach. Using clear, everyday language, the text is ideal for those with little to no exposure to either SEM or Amos. The author reviews SEM applications based on actual data taken from her own research. Each chapter "walks" readers through the steps involved (specification, estimation, evaluation, and post hoc modification) in testing a variety of SEM models. -- Provided by publisher.
