Baker, Laura A.; And Others – Child Development, 1983
Measures of general cognitive ability in one- and two-year-old adopted and nonadopted infants and their parents were subjected to path analysis to estimate the contribution of genetic and environmental factors to short-term stability of mental ability. (Author/RH)

Lorence, Jon; Mortimer, Jeylan T. – Sociology of Work and Occupations, 1981
Examines the interrelations of work experience and psychological involvement in work among male college graduates over a 10-year period. Both the occupational socialization and the occupational selection hypotheses are supported by the data analysis. (Author/JOW)

Bentler, P. M.; Weeks, David G. – Psychometrika, 1980
A statistical model for relating latent variables from manifest variables, called a linear structural equation model, is presented. The approach is illustrated by a test theory model and longitudianl study of intelligence. (Author/JKS)

Ross, Margaret E.; Salsbury-Glennon, Jill D.; Guarino, Anthony; Reed, Cynthia J.; Marshall, Mark – Educational Research and Evaluation: An International Journal on Theory and Practice, 2003
Studied interrelationships among perceptions of 108 preservice teachers of the learning context, test complexity, study strategies, and academic performance. Results of a path analysis show that perceptions of teaching format and test complexity were positively related to study strategies reported, and strategies were related to reported course…

Beach, Sara Ann; Young, Janet – Reading Research and Instruction, 1997
Proposes a model of kindergartners' development of literacy resources. States that, throughout the year, kindergartners completed tasks similar to those typically used in their different instructional programs, and factor analysis identified five factors for use in a path analysis. Finds various factors influenced outcome variables, represented by…

Shedler, Johnathan – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 1995
Discusses linear structural relations, Two Stage Least Squares, and path analysis as statistical procedures that sometimes permit causal inferences from correlational findings. Even though two variables cannot be interpreted causally due to a possible but unknown third variable, these methods are appropriate for handling models with correlated…

Morcol, Goktug; McLaughlin, Gerald W. – Research in Higher Education, 1990
The study proposes using path analysis and residual plotting as methods supporting environmental scanning in strategic planning for higher education institutions. Path models of three levels of independent variables are developed. Dependent variables measuring applications and enrollments at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University are…

Grandey, Alicia A.; Cropanzano, Russell – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 1999
Using time-lagged research design and path analysis, findings from 132 college faculty supported the conservation of resources model, which predicts that, as chronic work and family stressors drain resources, dissatisfaction and life distress increase and health declines. Self-esteem was not a moderating variable. (SK)

Ben-Ari, Rachel; Kedem-Friedrich, Peri – Instructional Science, 2000
Describes a study of students in grades three, four, and five that tried an educational application derived from the social constructivism view based on theories of Vygotsky and Piaget to improve cognitive development in a heterogeneous class. Path analysis showed that complex learning techniques are related to cognitive development. (Author/LRW)

Marsh, Herbert W.; Dowson, Martin; Pietsch, James; Walker, Richard – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2004
Multicollinearity is a well-known general problem, but it also seriously threatens valid interpretations in structural equation models. Illustrating this problem, J. Pietsch, R. Walker, and E. Chapman (2003) found paths leading to achievement were apparently much larger for self-efficacy (.55) than self-concept (-.05), suggesting--erroneously, as…

Schneider, Barry H.; Woodburn, Sharon; del Pilar Soteras del Toro, Maria; Udvari, Stephen J. – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2005
Harry Stack Sullivan maintained that competition between friends in early adolescence would generally destroy their friendship. Working with early adolescent samples in Canada, Costa Rica, and Cuba, we found that hypercompetitiveness--a form of competition involving the need to prove one?s own superiority--was linked with conflict between friends,…

Herman, Keith C.; Lambert, Sharon F.; Ialongo, Nicholas S.; Ostrander, Rick – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2007
The present study investigated the pathways between attention problems and depressive symptoms, particularly the role of academic incompetence, among a community sample of urban African American children. Results supported the hypothesized path models from inattention to depressive symptoms for girls and boys. Academic performance in the spring of…

Kozee, Holly B.; Tylka, Tracy L. – Psychology of Women Quarterly, 2006
This study extends research on objectification theory as it applies to eating disorder symptomatology by examining whether its tenets generalize to women identifying as lesbian. Lesbian women (N = 181) and a comparison sample of heterosexual women (N = 196) completed measures of objectification theory constructs (interpersonal sexual…

Svanum, Soren; Bigatti, Silvia M. – Journal of College Student Development, 2006
The influences of course effort and outside (family, job, social) activities on grades earned in a college course were examined for 230 urban college students. Multiple measurements of hours of work, social and family activities, and course effort were collected over a semester. Path modeling revealed that cumulative GPA and course effort had…

Gold, Jeffrey J.; Squire, Larry R. – Learning & Memory, 2006
The most useful information about the anatomy of human memory comes from cases where there has been extensive neuropsychological testing followed by detailed post-mortem neurohistological analysis. To our knowledge, only eight such cases have been reported (four with medial temporal lobe damage and four with diencephalic damage). Here we present…
