✦ Synopsis

"Featuring actual datasets as illustrative examples, this book reveals numerous ways to apply structural equation modeling (SEM) to any repeated-measures study. Initial chapters lay the groundwork for modeling a longitudinal change process, from measurement, design, and specification issues to model evaluation and interpretation. Covering both big-picture ideas and technical "how-to-do-it" details, the author deftly walks through when and how to use longitudinal confirmatory factor analysis, longitudinal panel models (including the multiple-group case), multilevel models, growth curve models, and complex factor models, as well as models for mediation and moderation. User-friendly features include equation boxes that clearly explain the elements in every equation, end-of-chapter glossaries, and annotated suggestions for further reading. The companion website (http://crmda.ku.edu/guilford/little) provides datasets for all of the examples--which include studies of bullying, adolescent students' emotions, and healthy aging--with syntax and output from LISREL, Mplus, and R (lavaan)."--Publisher's website.;Overview and foundations of structural equation modeling -- Design issues in longitudinal studies -- The measurement model -- Model fit, sample size, and power -- The longitudinal CFA model -- Specifying and interpreting a longitudinal panel model -- Multiple-group models -- Multilevel growth curves and multilevel SEM -- Mediation and moderation -- Jambalaya : complex construct representations and decompositions.
