Most importantly this paper is intended to serve as a useful guide both for the careful planning of future investigations and for the evaluation of completed studies using path analysis. It is hoped that reanalysis of previous path models and of data suitable for path analytic techniques will be stimulated. Also the paper may be a convenient initial reference for family scholars interested in learning more about path analysis. (excerpt)
