Zhao, Yu; Lei, Pui-Wa – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2016
Despite the prevalence of ordinal observed variables in applied structural equation modeling (SEM) research, limited attention has been given to model evaluation methods suitable for ordinal variables, thus providing practitioners in the field with few guidelines to follow. This study represents a first attempt to thoroughly examine the…

Yu, Chong Ho – 2002
This paper asserts that causality is an intriguing but controversial topic in philosophy, statistics, and educational and psychological research. By supporting the Causal Markov Condition and the faithfulness condition, Clark Glymour attempted to draw causal inferences from structural equation modeling. According to Glymour, in order to make…

Drew, Po Yin; Watkins, David – 1997
This study investigates the interrelationships of academic causal attributions, academic self-concept, learning approaches, and their effects on academic achievement among Hong Kong Chinese tertiary students. It was hypothesized that academic causal attributions and academic self-concept affect the learning approaches students adopt and…

Whiteside, Leanne; And Others – 1994
This study of 1,093 public high school students was designed to test an integrated theoretical model of delinquency, consisting of elements of social control and social learning theories, with LISREL procedures. The model confirmed with LISREL was very similar to the hypothesized model. The hypothesized model was fitted to data on one random…

Zhang, Zhicheng; RiCharde, R. Stephen – 1999
The causal structure between academic achievement and cognitive, psychological, and facilitative variables during the freshman year in college was studied. Data from 455 freshmen were used in the analysis. Participants completed measures of student goals, facilitative skills, and learning and thinking styles. Pre-college and freshman achievement…

Arditzoglou, Sophia Yani; Crawley, Frank E., III – 1992
This study utilizes the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as the theoretical framework from which to explore the factors that have a determining influence upon science and mathematics achievement. The study makes every effort to expand the utility of TPB by assessing its applicability with respect to the achievement of 10th grade female Palestinian…

Whelan, Carol Scott; Teddlie, Charles – 1989
Student socioeconomic status (SES) and the perceptions of students' and teachers' expectations and attributions of responsibility for learning and their relationships to achievement were studied using linear structural equation modeling. Two models were developed and tested. One model included student expectations and attributions of…

Schmidt, Henk G.; Moust, Jos H. C. – 1995
This study tested a causal model of the influence of tutor behavior on student achievement and interest in the context of problem-based learning. Data were gathered from 524 tutorial groups involving students in the health sciences curriculum at the University of Limburg in the Netherlands during 1992-93. Correlations among the 261 tutors' social…
