Social science researchers and students benefit greatly from acquiring knowledge and skills in SEM, since the methods can provide a bridge between the theoretical and empirical aspects of behavioural research. Ramlall explains in a rigorous, concise, and practical manner all the vital components embedded in structural equation modelling (SEM). Focusing on R and Stata to implement and perform various structural equation models, Ramlall examines the types, benefits, and drawbacks of SEM, delving into model specifications and identifications, fit evaluations, and path diagrams. 606 $aStructural equation modeling 606 $aEducation$xTeaching Methods & Materials / Social Science$2bisacsh 606 $aSociology$2bicssc 615 0$aStructural equation modeling. 615 7$aEducation$xTeaching Methods & Materials / Social Science. 615 7$aSociology. 676 $a507.2 700 $aRamlall$b Indranarain$0885669 801 0$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821938403321 996 $aApplied structural equation modelling for researchers and practitioners$94072032 997 $aUNINA
