Investigation of a proposed achievement model: Using LISREL structural modeling
The purpose of the present study was to examine the causal effects of selected variables on learning performance. Specifically, this study investigated the relative importance of two types of time variables, that is, homework time and the ratio of time spent in learning (TSL) to time needed for …

The robustness of LISREL estimates in structural equation models with categorical data
… type of correlation matrix on the robustness of LISREL maximum likelihood and unweighted least squares structural parameter estimates for models with categorical manifest variables. Two types of correlation matrices were analyzed; one containing Pearson product-moment correlations and one …

The Effects of Sample Design and Measure Reliability on Lisrel-Based Hypothesis Tests
… affect the power of hypothesis tests from LISREL's maximum Likelihood ratio. Using simulation data and data from the High School and Beyond survey (HSB), I show that test power decreases when sample design differs from an unrestricted random sample assumed for LISREL's maximum likelihood …

Familial and psychological effects on students' reading achievements: Linear structural relations (LISREL) approach
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of familial and psychological factors on reading achievement, and to establish a theoretical model linking home background, parental involvement, and psychological orientation, to time spent reading, and reading achievement. The data for the …

The relationship of social support, emotional expression, and health status: a LISREL analysis of conceptual models
… modified using the linear structural relations (LISREL) method of latent variable path analysis. Subjects were 402 undergraduate psychology students at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. All subjects completed self-report measures initially and 293 subjects completed mailed …

Who Do Schools Really Serve?: Examining the Relationship Between Socioeconomic Status and Access to School Resources Through LISREL
Access to quality school resources enhances student's educational experiences. Students taught by quality teachers benefit from their teachers' training and expertise, and students who participate in an enriched curriculum benefit from challenging material and coursework. This paper assesses …

Maternal Employment and Family Socioeconomic Status Effects on Daughter's Self-Concept and Attitude Towards Women and Work: LISREL Models
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of mother's employment variables and family socioeconomic status on daughter's self-concept and attitude towards women and work. Two groupings of 9th and 12th grade subjects were investigated: daughters whose mothers were employed at least …

Corporatism and leftist governments: a LISREL analysis on their effects on the economic performance of selected advanced capitalist democracies
… political parties. Therefore, I will perform a LISREL analysis for two competing models: (1) an 'additive' model, where I compare the independent effects of corporatist arrangements and leftist parties on strike activity, unemployment rates, inflation rates, and GDP growth rates; and (2) a …

A Causal Analysis of Achievement Models for Language Minority Students in the United States: A Linear Structural Relations (Lisrel) Approach
The purpose of the present study was to empirically test the validity of a theoretical model linking ethnic-language dominance, socio-economic status, and parental involvement to cognitive achievement and psychological orientation. An unbalanced, multi-group sample was randomly selected from the …

Alternative estimation methods in structural equation modeling with LISREL-7: Effects of noncontinuity and nonnormality of variables with varying sample sizes
The accuracy of alternative estimation methods (i.e., ML, GLS, and WLS) in structural equation modeling was investigated under two kinds of sample sizes--150 and 500--with advantage of Monte Carlo study. Four types of variables--continuous-normal, continuous-nonnormal, discrete-normal, and …

A Confirmatory Multivariate Study of the Nature of Second Language Proficiency and Its Relationship to Learner Variables (Acquisition, Covariance, Analysis, Structural Equation Models, Lisrel, Foreign, Teaching English as A Foreign Language, Tefl)
The purpose of this study was to investigate both the nature of second language proficiency and its interrelationships with learner variables using a wide range of language proficiency measures and powerful multivariate statistical techniques. First, competing hypotheses regarding the nature of …

Antecedents and consequences of new product development and international new product rollout timeliness:an examination of mediating and moderating influences
… equation modelling (SEM) using SIMPLIS LISREL. In addition, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was carried out using SIMPLIS LISREL. In the direct relationships, cross-functional linkages and marketing synergy exhibited a statistically significant effect on NPD timeliness. The results …

The three stratum theory of cognitive abilities: test of the structure of intelligence across the life span
… using confirmatory factor analysis with the LISREL computer program. Developmental changes in the structure of intelligence were also investigated. Results provided support for the three stratum theory, suggesting the possibility of intermediate factors between the second and third stratum …

The Effects of Parental Educational Level and Selected School Variables Across Academic Tracks on Student Reading Achievement
… an analysis of linear structural relationships (LISREL) model which does not assume an unidirectional causal relation between the variables and which also does not assume error-free measurement of variables in the model. A primary research concern of this study is whether or not the educational …

The Teamwork Components Model: An Analysis Using Structural Equation Modeling
… of teams. Structural equation modeling (i.e., LISREL) provided evidence of the validity of the proposed measurement models, and the results of confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses suggested revisions to further improve the validity of the questionnaire. In a second study, the revised …
