Theory Construction and Model-Building Skills A Practical Guide for Social Scientists

This accessible hands-on text has now been revised and updated with expanded coverage of topics including how theory may emerge from exploratory data analysis. The book prepares graduate students new researchers and even seasoned investigators to develop their own theories and build on existing ones. Concrete strategies are provided to help readers generate ideas define constructs and think through relationships and processes that link constructs. Compelling examples from multiple disciplines illustrate the use of quantitative qualitative and mixed methods orientations to theory construction. The text also offers practical advice for writing effectively about theories in papers and grant applications. Readers learn by doing via application and concept exercises demonstration boxes and practical guidelines. The extensive companion website (www. theory-construction. com) includes PowerPoint slides of all of the book’s figures primers on advanced topics video demonstrations supplemental exercises and other resources. New to This Edition *Emergent theory is now covered in mixed methods as well as qualitative approaches plus in a new chapter on exploratory quantitative methods that can help generate new theory through data mining. *Chapter on whether and how to revise a theory when faced with disconfirmatory data. *Two chapters on the theoretical underpinnings of measurement practices. *New or expanded discussions of what constitutes a theoretical contribution conceptual logic models thought experiments and more. Pedagogical Features *Application and concept exercises in every chapter. *Lists of key terms and engaging topical boxes. *Annotated suggestions for further reading. *New companion website with rich resources for students and instructors. *Chapters stand on their own and can be used in any order. | Theory Construction and Model-Building Skills A Practical Guide for Social Scientists

Principles and Practice of Structural Equation Modeling Fifth Edition

Principles and Practice of Structural Equation Modeling Fifth Edition

Significantly revised the fifth edition of the most complete accessible text now covers all three approaches to structural equation modeling (SEM)-covariance-based SEM nonparametric SEM (Pearl’s structural causal model) and composite SEM (partial least squares path modeling). With increased emphasis on freely available software tools such as the R lavaan package the text uses data examples from multiple disciplines to provide a comprehensive understanding of all phases of SEM-what to know best practices and pitfalls to avoid. It includes exercises with answers rules to remember topic boxes and new self-tests on significance testing regression and psychometrics. The companion website supplies helpful primers on these topics as well as data syntax and output for the book's examples in files that can be opened with any basic text editor. New to This Edition *Chapters on composite SEM also called partial least squares path modeling or variance-based SEM; conducting SEM analyses in small samples; and recent developments in mediation analysis. *Coverage of new reporting standards for SEM analyses; piecewise SEM also called confirmatory path analysis; comparing alternative models fitted to the same data; and issues in multiple-group SEM. *Extended tutorials on techniques for dealing with missing data in SEM and instrumental variable methods to deal with confounding of target causal effects. Pedagogical Features *New self-tests of knowledge about background topics (significance testing regression and psychometrics) with scoring key and online primers. *End-of-chapter suggestions for further reading and exercises with answers. *Troublesome examples from real data with guidance for handling typical problems in analyses. *Topic boxes on special issues and boxed rules to remember. *Website promoting a learn-by-doing approach including data extensively annotated syntax and output files for all the book’s detailed examples. | Principles and Practice of Structural Equation Modeling Fifth Edition
