Handbook of Structural Equation Modeling, Second Edition

Edited by Rick H. Hoyle

Handbook of Structural Equation Modeling, Second Edition, is a definitive reference for researchers and advanced students working with SEM across the social, behavioral, educational, and health sciences. Published by Guilford Press, this substantially revised edition brings together leading methodologists to address both foundational principles and current advances in structural equation modeling.

The book covers core SEM concepts, model fit, missing data, confirmatory factor analysis, measurement invariance, multilevel and longitudinal models, mixture models, bifactor models, item parceling, exploratory SEM, and software implementation. It is especially valuable for graduate training, advanced methods coursework, and applied research design. The second edition adds 23 new chapters and expanded coverage of contemporary SEM topics.
