Product Description
The bestselling text that has been so well loved with graduate students and researchers for providing an accessible guide to the application, interpretation, and pitfalls of structural equation modeling (SEM) has now been carefully revised to be even more helpful.
New to this edition are:
* The first SEM text web page, offering free access to data and program syntax files for many of the research examples in the book, electronic overheads that readers can download and print, and links to other helpful sites.
* Separate chapters that review fundamental statistical concepts: one on correlation and regression (providing a foundation for less advanced readers), and another on data preparation and screening.
* More coverage of the relation between measurement models and structural models in Chapter 8, which directly compares both types of models.
* New, separate chapters on nonrecursive models of multiple-sample SEM in Part III, including extensive explanations of latent growth models in Chapter 10 and multilevel SEM in Chapter 13.

This Book is Fantastic for anyone doing analysis using SEM. It is a very excellent source of refference. Its clear and concise.

Fantastic book to use as a supplement to the LISREL 8 manuals. It’s simple to read and provides references if you need to investigate a specific come forth in more detail.

AMOS can seem so simple that it is confusing. Where are the obfuscating command lines that we used to like? If you know and loathed another program in the same ilk, you may have problems with the ease of the AMOS graphic interface and command language. If this is the case, then this book is for you.

I am a manager of a team of statisticians that work in Market Research. This book has helped my team of applied statisticians to know the concepts caught up in SEM as the book is very clear and makes few assumptions of the readers’ knowledge. Mathematical formulas are kept to a minimum, with any that are shown fully described.
This is not to say the book is just an introductory book for beginners as it has many advanced insights and brilliant examples that a more experienced modeller can learn from. It is one of the most read books in our library as the author makes the theme compelling to read and every time it is reread you learn more from it as it works on many levels.
It is an essential book to have on SEM from a conceptual and matter-of-fact top of view. Though it is not a book for someone wanting to know the mathematics behind making the models in depth.

When Joreskog and his colleagues introduced LISREL into social science discourse, my dissertation director was despondent. An ancient fogy at 40!
If he’s alive today, but, I’m sure he feels much better. He’d be 64 now, and chances are he’s had a opportunity to read Rex Kline’s Principles and Do of Structural Equation Modeling. Coupled with new, much more user-friendly software such as AMOS and CALIS, Kline’s SEM book is not only readable but nearly simple, even as at the same time being comprehensive in coverage.
I never plotting I’d see a book that presents not only the order shape up for identification, but the rank shape up, as well, without using matrix algebra. But Kline pulls it off. This example exemplifies Kline’s talent for making really complex statistical procedures eminently accessible.
If my dissertation director is still working, I’m sure he’s no longer intimidated by SEM, and he’s using it to estimate informative models. In large measure, I’d be willing to guess, his new-found analytical power is due to Rex Kline’s brilliant textbook. I’ve benefited enormously from reading it.
