"This book illustrates the ease with which AMOS 4.0 can be used to address research questions that lend themselves to structural equation modeling (SEM). This goal is achieved by: (1) presenting a nonmathematical introduction to the basic concepts and applications of structural equation modeling, (2) demonstrating basic applications of SEM using AMOS 4.0, and (3) highlighting features of AMOS 4.0 that address important caveats related to SEM analyses."--Jacket.
