A Beginner's Guide to Structural Equation Modeling by Randall E Schumacker
The second edition features: a CD with all of the book's Amos, EQS, and LISREL programs and data sets; new chapters on importing data issues related to data editing and on how to report research; an updated introduction to matrix notation and programs that illustrate how to compute these calculations; many more computer program examples and chapter exercises; and increased coverage of factors that affect correlation, the 4-step approach to SEM and hypothesis testing, significance, power, and sample size issues. The new edition's expanded use of applications make this book ideal for advanced students and researchers in psychology, education, business, health care, political science, sociology, and biology. A basic understanding of correlation is assumed and an understanding of the matrices used in SEM models is encouraged.to conduct an SEM analysisChecklists are provided for each step, from model specification through validation. The accompanying CD provides all of the programs needed to do the analysis, with accompanying screen shots and directions in the book to allow the reader to self-teach the software application. This book would serve well as either a reference text or a required text for a course."
—Technometrics
"This book would be an invaluable resource for any student or researcher who wishes to begin exploring SEM, path analysis, or confirmatory factor analysis and who is willing to conscientiously treat this book as a self-taught course....a book which manages to be clear and understandable without spoon-feeding or talking down to the reader."
—Journal of Personality Assessment
"Before Schumacker and Lomax, I had a difficult time identifying the 'one source' that would provide a very straightforward introduction to SEM, enough detail about these modeling methods and current issues in the field, and enough of a base for a reader to take the next step and formally consider their own data in SEM...I am a great fan of this book."

Dr. Randall E. Schumacker is professor of educational research at the University of Alabama. He has written and co-edited several books, including A Beginner's Guide to Structural Equation Modeling, Third Edition, Advanced Structural Equation Modeling: Issues and Techniques, Interaction and Non-Linear Effects in Structural Equation Modeling, New Developments and Techniques in Structural Equation Modeling, Understanding Statistical Concepts Using S-PLUS, Understanding Statistics Using R, and Learning Statistics Using R. Dr. Schumacker was the founder and is now emeritus editor of Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, and has established the Structural Equation Modeling Special Interest Group within the American Educational Research Association (AERA). He is also the emeritus editor of Multiple Linear Regression Viewpoints, the oldest journal sponsored by AERA (Multiple Linear Regression: General Linear Model Special Interest Group). Dr. Schumacker has conducted international and national workshops, has served on the editorial board of several journals, and currently pursues his research interests in statistics and structural equation modeling. He was the 1996 recipient of the Outstanding Scholar Award and the 1998 recipient of the Charn Oswachoke International Award. In 2010, he launched the DecisionKit App for the iPhone, iPad, and iTouch, which can assist researchers in making decisions about which measurement, research design, or statistic to use in their research projects. In 2011, he received the Apple iPad Award. In, 2012, he received the CIT Faculty Technology Award. In 2013, he received the McCrory Faculty Excellence in Research Award from the College of Education at the University of Alabama. In 2014, Dr. Schumacker was the recipient of the Structural Equation Modeling Service Award at AERA.
