This bestselling text provides a practical guide to the basic concepts of structural equation modeling (SEM) and the AMOS program (Versions 17 & 18). The author reviews SEM applications based on actual data taken from her research. Noted for its non-mathematical language, this book is written for the novice SEM user. With each chapter, the author "walks" the reader through all steps involved in testing the SEM model including:
- an explanation of the issues addressed
- an illustration of the hypothesized and posthoc models tested
- AMOS input and output with accompanying interpretation and explanation
- The function of the AMOS toolbar icons and their related pull-down menus
- The data and published reference upon which the model was based.

Dr. Byrne's book is indispensable to any applied researcher using these techniques in practice." - Patrick Curran, University of North Carolina, USA
"This second edition [is] a must have for clearly understandable input and examples on applying structural equation modeling with AMOS. Barbara Byrne has most certainly written another best seller." - Lisa Harlow, University of Rhode Island, USA
"Dr. Byrne's first edition … was a model of clarity, written specifically for beginners. This new edition continues her tradition of excellence." - Roger E. Millsap, Arizona State University, USA
