Confirmatory Factor Analysis for Applied Research, Second Edition - Paperback Book - by Timothy A. Brown - 9781462515363 - Guilford Publications

Dimensions: 17.9cm x 25.1cm x 2.1cm - With its emphasis on practical and conceptual aspects, rather than mathematics or formulas, this accessible book has established itself as the go-to resource on confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Detailed, worked-through examples drawn from psychology, management, and sociology studies illustrate the procedures, pitfalls, and extensions of CFA methodology. The text shows how to formulate, program, and interpret CFA models using popular latent variable software packages (LISREL, Mplus, EQS, SAS/CALIS); understand the similarities and differences between CFA and exploratory factor analysis (EFA); and report results from a CFA study. It is filled with useful advice and tables that outline the procedures. The companion websiteoffers data and program syntax files for most of the research examples, as well as links to CFA-related resources.
