{"product_id":"9781452291475","title":"Using Mplus for Structural Equation Modeling: A Researcher's Guide","description":"\u003cp\u003eIdeal for researchers and graduate students in the social sciences who require knowledge of structural equation modeling techniques to answer substantive research questions, \u003cstrong\u003eUsing Mplus for Structural Equation Modeling\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a reader-friendly introduction to the major types of structural equation models implemented in the Mplus framework. This practical book, which updates author E. Kevin Kelloway’s 1998 book \u003cem\u003eUsing LISREL for Structural Equation Modeling\u003c\/em\u003e, retains the successful five-step process employed in the earlier book, with a thorough update for use in the Mplus environment. Kelloway provides an overview of structural equation modeling techniques in Mplus, including the estimation of confirmatory factor analysis and observed variable path analysis. He also covers multilevel modeling for hypothesis testing in real life settings and offers an introduction to the extended capabilities of Mplus, such as exploratory structural equation modeling and estimation and testing of mediated relationships. A sample application with the source code, printout, and results is presented for each type of analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e”An \u003cstrong\u003eexcellent book\u003c\/strong\u003e on the ins and outs of using Mplus, as well as the practice of structural equation modeling in applied research.” —\u003cstrong\u003eKevin J.
