Structural equation modelling in perspective
回顾了结构方程建模中的四个争议：模型的因果性、全局拟合评估、通过规范搜索提升拟合度以及回归更简单分析形式的呼吁，并提出了改进建议。
Abstract Four current controversies in structural equation modelling are reviewed; the “causal” nature of structural equation models, the assessment of global fit, the use of specification searches to enhance model fit, and the call for a return to “simpler” forms of analysis. Within each area the nature of the controversy is reviewed and suggestions made to improve future practice.
