Editorial Reviews

Review

"Perfectly addresses the needs of social scientists like me without formal training in mathematical statistics....Can be read by any graduate in psychology or even by keen undergraduates interested in exploring new vistas. Yet it will also constitute a surprisingly good read for experienced researchers in search of some refreshing insights in their favorite techniques....A real tour de force....Succeeds in reconciling comprehensiveness and comprehensibility." (on the second edition) ― The Psychologist Published On: 2015-04-06

"The greatest strength of this book is Kline's ability to present materials in an engaging, accessible manner. In nearly all situations, Kline is able to describe even the more complex material in practical, jargon-free terms....In this regard, this book is unparalleled, and I suspect that this strength alone will make this the book of choice for many who are eager to learn SEM but who do not possess extensive quantitative backgrounds...This book could be readily adapted to courses for students with a basic understanding of correlation and regression or as part of a course for more advanced students." (on the second edition) ― PsycCRITIQUES Published On: 2015-04-06

"This wonderfully written book is an impressive introduction to structural equation models (SEM) containing a sharp mix of expert analysis and observations....Contains important resources for both theoretical and applied researchers interested in SEMs...Appropriate as a text for graduate students and a reference for researchers, providing both audiences with valuable insight into the subject matter.." (on the second edition) ― Journal of the American Statistical Association Published On: 2015-04-06

5.0 out of 5 stars Best textbook on SEM
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2024

I never thought I'd enjoy reading a textbook so much. I know—NERD. But this is actually a great conceptual textbook on SEM. It doesn't get into the weeds of the math but covers a lot of the theory. Great textbook for that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written- but still steeped in lingo.
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2020

While the content is excellent and authoritative, the author might do well to remember what it was like to sit in a class trying to learn a new and complex subject. Explaining a complex subject in a way that people can follow along is underrated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable: A Must!
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2022
Verified Purchase
If you do, review or teach SEM, you already know that Kline's book, now in a 4th edition, is a must on your bookshelf. If you are learning SEM, the book might be a little light on "how-to" but there is YT and other resources for that --- you're getting a compendium of knowledge to start from, rather than having to read the original articles like the old-timers.

There also is excellent introductory coverage to advanced topics, such as latent growth (which have texts of their own). Sufficient introduction to mediation & moderation, with reference to classics as well as contemporaries (e.g., Baron Kenny, Preacher, Hayes).

Companion support includes syntax and output (available at the publisher) for, amos, laavan, eqs, mplus, lisrel, spss, & stata, although varies depending on software & application (e.g., interaction, mplus only).

Materials are presented in a way that is relatively agnostic for the domain of application. In other words, if you're researching in a specific discipline, say hospitality, you gotta know the expectations of your discipline. But the foundational materials for SEM -- as well as classic cites -- appear in Kline. Learn SEM and then understand it in your own field.

One of the best purchases I ever made to support my own research. I probably "do" SEM every couple of years or so for a manuscript, and I always come back to Kline. I also am preparing for a long-distance move and severely reducing my physical books or switching to ebooks. My hard copy of Kline "made the cut" and is taking the trip. ;) Other hard-copies moving with me -- Hair's PLS, Hayes mediation/moderation, my first communion bible -- to give you a sense of how "prized" the book is to me.

Overall, simply outstanding. A+. I might just purchase the 5th edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The bes SEM book!
Reviewed in Canada on July 24, 2019
Verified Purchase
If you're going to read only a singke book on SEM, this should be the one! It's way more complete and more detailed than all the other books on the subject I've encountered.
I've read other SEM books and took a class on it and still felt a bit unsure about a lot of it, but after reading this book, I feel way more comfortable with SEM.
The only thing that was not great was the explanation of graph theory.

The resourcesbon the website are good too! Lots of scripts for different statistical packages (including R!)
