Schumacker, Randall E. – Mid-Western Educational Researcher, 1993
Structural equation models merge multiple regression, path analysis, and factor analysis techniques into a single data analytic framework. Measurement models are developed to define latent variables, and structural equations are then established among the latent variables. Explains the development of these models. (KS)

Tokar, David M.; Jome, LaRae M. – Journal of Counseling Psychology, 1998
Masculine gender roles, traditional vocational interests, and career choice are modeled using structural equations. Participants were 212 students from 51 majors. Two competing models were tested. Results favor a fully mediated model in which masculine gender roles influence vocational interests, which influence the traditionality of career choice…

Iedema, Jurjen; Meeus, Wim – Journal of Adolescence, 1998
People experience mental incongruity when there is a discrepancy between a standard and their own experience of a situation or behavior. The influence of adolescents' standards and mental incongruity on the development of their identity (N=706) was studied in both work and relational domains using structural equation models.

Purpura, James E. – Language Testing, 1998
Uses structural equation modelling to examine the relationship between learning strategy use and second-language test performance (SLTP) in 1,382 high- and low-ability test takers. Results showed metacognitive strategy use and SLTP models produced similar factorial structures for each group; cognitive strategy use models differed. This suggests…

Nix, Robert L.; And Others – Child Development, 1999
Examined relationships among mothers' hostile attribution tendencies regarding their children's ambiguous problem behaviors, mothers' harsh discipline, and children's externalizing behavior problems. Assessments over four years demonstrated that mothers' hostile attributions predicted children's externalizing school behavior problems. The…

Sideridis, Georgios D. – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2005
The purpose of the present study was to broaden planned behavior theory and examine its applicability to predict the academic achievement of students of low and high spelling ability. Two hundred fifty seven students, 54 low spellers and 203 high spellers from thirty elementary schools in northern Greece, participated in the study. Between groups…

Shin, Jongho; Espin, Christine A.; Deno, Stanley L.; McConnell, Scott – Asia Pacific Education Review, 2004
The main purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how to apply the Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) technique to multi-wave Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) measures in modeling academic growth and assessing its relations to student-and instruction-related variables. HLM has advantages over other statistical methods (e.g., repeated measures…

Marsh, Herbert W.; Hau, Kit-Tai – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2004
The internal/external frame of reference (I/E) model explains a seemingly paradoxical pattern of relations between math and verbal self-concepts and corresponding measures of achievement, extends social comparison theory, and has important educational implications. In a cross-cultural study of nationally representative samples of 15-year-olds from…

Kahng, Sang Kyoung; Mowbray, Carol – Social Work Research, 2004
This study analyzed factors affecting self-esteem among individuals with severe mental illness to identify effective targets for social work interventions. Data were obtained from 290 individuals with psychiatric disability recruited from community-based psychosocial rehabilitation agencies. Analyses using structural equation modeling revealed…

McKenzie, Kirsten; Gow, Kathryn; Schweitzer, Robert – Higher Education Research and Development, 2004
The purpose of this research was to develop and test a multicausal model of the individual characteristics associated with academic success in first-year Australian university students. This model comprised the constructs of: previous academic performance, achievement motivation, self-regulatory learning strategies, and personality traits, with…

Gold, Michael S.; Bentler, Peter M.; Kim, Kevin H. – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2003
This article describes a Monte Carlo study of 2 methods for treating incomplete nonnormal data. Skewed, kurtotic data sets conforming to a single structured model, but varying in sample size, percentage of data missing, and missing-data mechanism, were produced. An asymptotically distribution-free available-case (ADFAC) method and structured-model…

Lepola, Janne; Poskiparta, Elisa; Laakkonen, Eero; Niemi, Pekka – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2005
In this 2-year longitudinal study the developmental relationships among letter knowledge, phonological awareness, rapid naming, and task orientation were examined, and linguistic-motivational pathways of word reading acquisition were traced from kindergarten to Grade 1 by means of structural equation modeling. The participants were 100…

Li, Yuan H.; Tompkins, Leroy J. – International Journal of Testing, 2004
The primary objective of this study was to examine the construct validity for the 2 multiple-content testing programs-the multiple-choice Comprehensive Tests of Basic Skills (CTBS/5) together with the performance-based Maryland School Performance Assessment Program (MSPAP)-by evaluating the true-score longitudinal associations among…

Marsh, Herbert W.; Hau, Kit-Tai; Wen, Zhonglin – Structural Equation Modeling, 2004
Goodness-of-fit (GOF) indexes provide "rules of thumb"?recommended cutoff values for assessing fit in structural equation modeling. Hu and Bentler (1999) proposed a more rigorous approach to evaluating decision rules based on GOF indexes and, on this basis, proposed new and more stringent cutoff values for many indexes. This article discusses…

Yashima, Tomoko; Zenuk-Nishide, Lori; Shimizu, Kazuaki – Language Learning, 2004
This article investigates results and antecedents of willingness to communicate WTC in a second language L2 through 2 separate investigations conducted with Japanese adolescent learners of English. In the first investigation, involving 160 students, a model was created based on the hypothesis that WTC results in more frequent communication in the…
