A Brief Introduction to Structural Equation Modeling Techniques: Theory and Application.
Baloglu, Mustafa
This paper provides theoretical and practical information about using structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques. The first section discusses the theory of SEM, including five general steps: (1) model specification; (2) model identification; (3) model estimation; (4) testing model fit; and (5) model respecification. The second section applies these steps to an empirical example using data from a Federal Emergency Management Agency study of the effectiveness of stress debriefings. (Contains 4 figures and 40 references.) (Author/SLD)
