Using Mplus for Structural Equation Modeling: A Researcher’s Guide by E. Kevin Kelloway offers an accessible introduction to structural equation modeling techniques using the Mplus framework. This second edition retains the user-friendly five-step process from the original 1998 publication, providing researchers and graduate students in the social sciences with a practical guide for applying these advanced statistical methods. The book covers essential topics such as confirmatory factor analysis and observed variable path analysis, while also delving into more complex areas like multilevel modeling and exploratory structural equation modeling. Kelloway’s comprehensive approach includes detailed examples with source code, printout, and results, making it an invaluable resource for both novice and experienced researchers seeking to enhance their understanding of Mplus in real-world research scenarios.
