Reviews

Kenneth Bollen's new book, Structural Equations with Latent Variables is a "comprehensive introduction" to the LISREL approach to covariance structure analysis. It is clearly written, insightful, and complete. In it, Bollen covers both basic and advanced topics, provides his own useful insights into controversies and recent developments, and makes good use of empirical examples to illustrate important points. He also stresses, at every point, that substantive knowledge and the theory of the process being modeled are indispensable for using the method fruitfully. — Ross L. Matsueda (1991) [4]

Bollen’s text, Structural Equations with Latent Variables, represents an authoritative account of covariance structure modeling developments from the perspective of a sociologist who has made important contributions to both the psychometric and sociological literatures on these models.

— Jeffrey S. Tanaka (1990)[5]
