A practical introduction to using Mplus for the analysis of multivariate data, this volume provides step-by-step guidance, complete with real data examples, numerous screen shots, and output excerpts. The author shows how to prepare a data set for import in Mplus using SPSS. He explains how to specify different types of models in Mplus syntax and address typical caveats--for example, assessing measurement invariance in longitudinal SEMs. Coverage includes path and factor analytic models as well as mediational, longitudinal, multilevel, and latent class models.

Strukturgleichungsmodelle gehören mittlerweile zu den etablierten statistischen Methoden in den Sozialwissenschaften und eignen sich für die Beantwortung einer Vielzahl von Fragestellungen. Das Analyseprogramm Mplus erfreut sich als eines der aktuellsten, flexibelsten und anwenderfreundlichsten Statistikprogramme zunehmender Beliebtheit. Praxisnah, mit zahlreichen Beispielen, Probedatensätzen und Abbildungen führt der Autor Schritt für Schritt in die Grundlagen der Handhabung von Mplus (Version 5) ein, und beschreibt die Anwendung grundlegender Analyseverfahren. Dabei werden nicht nur konventionelle Strukturgleichungsmodelle, sondern auch Strukturgleichungsmodelle der Veränderungsmessung sowie Mehrebenenregressionsmodelle und Latent-Class-Analysen besprochen. Dr. Christian Geiser ist Assistenzprofessor für Quantitative Methoden der Psychologie an der Arizona State University, USA.

Abstract. Research of the Methodology Group at the Freie Universität Berlin focuses on subjective well-being, mood regulation, health psychology, and the development of new methods for the analysis of psychological data. In particular, we are interested in the role mood regulation plays for subjective well-being and the way people adapt to life events. In terms of health promotion, we study sun protection behavior and are interested in the prevention of skin cancer. In our methodological research, we are concerned with the development and application of new statistical models for analyzing longitudinal and multitrait-multimethod data.
