Structural equation modeling
principles, processes, and practices
pp. 153-172
Abstract
Kim, Sturman, and Kim clearly hold a positivist ideology. They explain how to design a study for a within-group factor comparison unit of analysis research strategy. This is an excellent discussion of the best practices for applying structural equation modeling (SEM). SEM is usually inductive in principle, although confirmatory factor analysis (the first phase of SEM) is deductive since it measures the reliability of an a priori construct using the sample data. They use applied examples drawn from their own studies.
