MARTIN, JOHN A. Structural Equation Modeling: A Guide for the Perplexed. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1987, 58, 33-37. Despite seemingly incomprehensible notation and statistical complexity, the basic logic behind latent-variable structural equation modeling is quite simple. These methods are essentially an extension of familiar techniques such as multiple regression and factor analysis. In this light, readers are provided with a set of 5 statements and questions to guide them in their attempts to decipher reports of research employing structural modeling methods.
