Structural Equation Modeling with Amos : Basic Concepts, Applications, and Programming
This third edition of the book differs in several important ways from the two previous editions. First, each chapter now opens with a bulleted list of key concepts addressed within the context of the SEM procedure covered. Second, Amos has now implemented an optional spreadsheet format for each specified model, termed Tables View format, which can be observed by toggling between two rectangular-shaped buttons on the model-building page labeled Path Diagram and Table. However, because this Tables View format is structured as a single sectioned set of columns, it is not possible to adequately screen-capture this Tables View format for multiple-group and other complex models. Thus, I include and explain the matching Tables View and Path Diagram models as they relate to single-group models only (Chapters 3?6). By highlighting each matched set of parameters (e.g., factor loadings, error covariances, factor covariances) as expressed in the graphical model versus its equivalent Tables View format, I hope that you will quickly see that exactly the same model is specified albeit via two different formats. Third, there are many new and/or modified screen shots of program actions due to graphical changes in the program. In addition, I have included a walk-through of how to make changes to aspects of the Amos-generated models (e.g., how to change the default color fill to white for publication purposes). Fourth, where the Amos program includes an alternative approach to model analyses, I have illustrated both procedures. A case in point is the automated multigroup approach to tests for equivalence (see Chapter 7). I hope that showing you both approaches will enable you to determine which method is best suited to your own SEM work. Fifth, given ongoing discussion in the literature concerning the analysis of continuous versus categorical data derived from the use of Likert-scaled measures, I illustrate analysis of data from the same instrument based on both approaches to the analysis (see Chapter 5). Unlike the other SEM programs, Amos can currently only analyze categorical data using a Bayesian statistical approach. Thus, not only do you get to see two different ways of specifying and testing the same model, but in addition, you will be able to compare consistency of the results across the two approaches. Sixth, given that most users of the Amos program wish to work within a graphical mode, all applications are based on this interface. However, as noted above, I also include a portion of the matching Tables
