Oetting, E. R.; Beauvais, Fred – Journal of Counseling Psychology, 1987
Peer cluster theory suggests that the socialization factors that accompany adolescent development interact to produce peer clusters that encourage or discourage drug involvement. Correlations of socialization variables, strength of the family, family sanctions against drug use, religious identification, and school adjustment with drug use confirm…

Freedman, D. A. – Journal of Educational Statistics, 1987
Presents a review of path analysis techniques using Hope's (1984) comparative study of schooling and social mobility in Scotland and the United States as a case study. Path analysis has been used in the social sciences to untangle complex cause and effect relationships. The limits of path analysis as a way to analyze complex social phenomena are…

Simons, Ronald L.; Murphy, Phyllis I. – Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 1985
A model that incorporates both socioenvironmental and psychological factors was developed in an attempt to explain adolescent suicide ideation. A sample of 407 high school students was used to test the model. (Author/LMO)

Bentler, Peter M. – Psychometrika, 1983
Current practice in structural modeling of variables is limited to means and covariances based on multivariate normality assumptions. This article extends structural equation models to higher order product moments and to non-normal distributions. Areas of possible research are described. (Author/JKS)

Nezu, Arthur M.; Ronan, George F. – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1985
Tested a model of depression that included level of current problems and social problem solving. Path analysis of data from 205 undergraduates showed the model accounted for 42 percent of the variance associated with the prediction of depressive symptoms. (MCF)

Leong, Che Kan – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1984
Cognitive processing and language awareness in relation to reading were studied. Language awareness involved understanding of phonological representation, ambiguities, and incongruities. Second and fourth graders were administered seven "simultaneous-successive" tasks. Results showed a much greater direct effect from language awareness…

Butler, John K.; Womer, Norman Keith – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1985
The study tests the appropriateness of multiplicative versus additive expectancy-valency models for grouping motivational force decisions of 82 undergraduate students. Arguments are offered favoring a non-nested regression models analysis over a traditional hierarchical analysis of nested regression models. Discriminant analysis indicated one of…

Berkowitz, Alan D.; Perkins, H. Wesley – Journal of Marriage and the Family, 1984
Examined a sample of dairy farm wives (N=126) regarding stress symptoms, husband support, farm and home task loads, and perceived role conflict between farm and home responsibilities. Results indicated that the content of home and work roles may not be as important as interpersonal dynamics in rural farm families. (LLL)

Reiss, Ira L.; And Others – Journal of Marriage and the Family, 1980
Describes a path analytic approach to a model of extramarital sexual permissiveness. Variables include age, gender, education, religiosity, political liberalism, premarital sexual permissiveness, autonomy, marital happiness, and power. (JAC)

Schwarzer, Ralf – Studies in Educational Evaluation, 1980
Four approaches to prediction of learning success are described and discussed: the two-point model and the technique of multiple regression; the learning test model; the contingency model and the technique of time-series analysis; and the causally defined multipoint model and the technique of path analysis.

Kahn, Jeffrey H.; Williams, Mona N. – Journal of College Counseling, 2003
Path analyses revealed that one's tendency to conceal distressing information, psychological distress, and attitudes toward seeking help predicted intended use of counseling services for college students who had and had not previously been in counseling. Prospective analyses revealed attitudes toward seeking help predicted actual use of campus…

Wilson, Mark – Journal of Educational Statistics, 1989
An empirical sampling approach was used to assess the accuracy of a Taylor approximation for the estimation of sampling errors. The sampling errors were in the statistics involved in estimating a path model based on medium-sized samples gathered using five sample designs commonly used in educational research. (TJH)

Lehmann, Donald R.; Gupta, Sunil – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1989
Path Analysis of Covariance Matrix (PACM) is described as a way to separately estimate measurement and structural models using standard least squares procedures. PACM was empirically compared to simultaneous maximum likelihood estimation and use of the LISREL computer program, and its advantages are identified. (SLD)

Games, Paul A. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1990
The logical flaw of using the methods of path analysis and structural equation modeling to make causative conclusions is demonstrated. A proper evaluation of the role of investigation versus experimentation is cited in the work of W. G. Cochran as explicated by D. R. Rubin (1983). (TJH)

Jeffreys, Bradford J.; Camp, William G. – Journal of Vocational Education Research, 1988
The authors used path analysis procedures to construct and test a causal model of participation in vocational student organizations. Of the eight variables investigated, seven had significant effects. Sophomore year participation was the best indicator of senior year involvement as a participant or a leader. (Author/CH)
