The international journal, published quarterly by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates Inc., was founded in 1993. Structural equation modeling, the fourth most commonly used statistical method, incorporates correlation, regression, path analysis and factor analysis methodologies to formulate and test theoretical models in various academic and professional disciplines. The journal publishes both theoretical and applied articles pertaining to covariance structure analysis, latent variable models and structural equation models. In addition, the journal contains a teacher's corner, reviews of software and books, and advertising. The theoretical articles address new developments and examine current practices.
Applied articles study both exploratory and confirmatory models.
The teacher's corner provides instructional modules on aspects and topics relevant to structural equation modeling. The book and software reviews afford an opportunity to critique new modeling information and techniques. The educational research program office is in Matthews Hall, Suite 304. Matthews Hall is on the northwest corner of Avenue A and Highland Street in Denton.
