The field of structural equation models (SEMs) is rapidly expanding. A researcher who wants to select and apply SEMs to their data faces several challenges: (1) They can often become extremely complex, with many parameters to estimate. Small samples or those with relatively few variables often cannot support this complexity reliably, leading to under-identified models, poor power, or unstable estimates; (2) Researchers must choose an appropriate measurement model, and these choices are not often well understood in advance; (3) No single “correct” SEM exists, although “better” ones do, and the existence of competing plausible alternatives is often overlooked; and (4) Critical examination of model assumptions involving the linearity of parameters and the existence of influential or outlying observations is often overlooked. This book provides an overview of SEMs as a flexible, skeptical, and iterative scientific process.
Key Features:
- Emphasis on multiverse analysis, right-sizing statistical models to data, and the generation of plausible skeptical alternatives
- Robust assumption checking (LOESS regression, regression and SEM diagnostics)
- Detailed, visual coverage of a variety of path diagrams, their links to matrix-based specifications, and data exploration using heat-map visualization and tests of dimensionality
- A variety of SEMs including mediational models, psychometrics (e.g., parallel, tau-equivalent, congeneric measurement), growth curve models, exploratory factor analysis, multigroup, categorical, and exploratory structural equation modeling
- Supplemented by a website featuring code, data, lecture slides, and additional material
This text is designed for graduate students, early-career researchers, and advanced undergraduates who wish to move beyond plug-and-play SEMs to a deeper, more philosophical and data-conscious understanding. Its careful balance of theory, worked examples, and emphasis on skepticism will help its audience build confidence in using SEMs flexibly and responsibly for a broad range of social and behavioral science research.

Informazioni sull’autore
Phillip K. Wood is Professor of Psychological Sciences at the University of Missouri–Columbia, where he has taught graduate seminars in quantitative methods, including beginning and advanced structural equation modeling (SEM), for over 30 years
He earned his Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and Measurement from the University of Minnesota, and earlier degrees from the University of Iowa and Wartburg College.
Dr. Wood’s research spans advanced latent variable modeling techniques―particularly SEM, latent growth, growth-mixture models, state–trait modeling, longitudinal data analysis and models for longitudinally intensive data as applied to developmental processes, substance abuse within young adult populations and life-span development.
A strong advocate of methodological transparency and reproducibility, Wood maintains open-access resources, including SAS, Mplus, lavaan, and Onyx code, accessible through his university-hosted repositories
He regularly moderates the Transcontinental Karl Popper Conference, which explores philosophy of science in psychological research, highlighting his commitment to the interplay between methodological rigor and theoretical skepticism.
Combining decades of classroom instruction with cutting-edge research, Phillip Wood brings a practical, data-conscious perspective fueled by a belief that SEM should be inquisitive, skeptical, and disciplined―a perfect guide for readers navigating the complexities of latent variable modeling.

Diritto di recesso
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
-
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
-
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
-
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
-
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
-
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
-
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
