Structural Equation Modeling with Mplus

Preface

As with each of my previous introductory structural equation modeling (SEM) books, my overall goal here is to provide my readers with a nonmathematical introduction to the basic concepts associated with this methodology, and to illustrate its basic applications using the Mplus program. All applications in this volume are based on Mplus 6, the most current version of the program at the time this book went to press. Although it is inevitable that newer versions of the program will emerge at some later date, the basic principles covered in this first edition of the book remain fully intact.
