'''''Structural Equations with Latent Variables''''' is a [[statistics]] textbook authored by [[Kenneth Bollen]] and published in 1989. It provides a framework for understanding and applying [[structural equation modeling
''Structural Equations with Latent Variables'' explores various topics in the statistics field, covering measurement validity and reliability, overall fit indices, model identification, causality, and the statistical software package [[LISREL]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Bollen |first=Kenneth A. |url=http://doi.wiley.com/10.1002/9781118619179 |title=Structural Equations with Latent Variables: Bollen/Structural Equations with Latent Variables |date=1989-04-28 |publisher=John Wiley & Sons, Inc. |isbn=978-1-118-61917-9 |___location=Hoboken, NJ, USA |language=en |doi=10.1002/9781118619179 |access-date=August 13, 2023 |archive-date=August 13, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230813115227/https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9781118619179 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=APA PsycNet |url=https://psycnet.apa.org/record/1989-97716-000 |access-date=2022-08-26 |website=psycnet.apa.org |language=en |archive-date=April 7, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230407150401/https://psycnet.apa.org/record/1989-97716-000 |url-status=live }}</ref> Examples are provided from sociology, economics, and psychology to illustrate the practical applications of these methods.

<blockquote>Kenneth Bollen's new book, ''Structural Equations with Latent Variables'' is a "comprehensive introduction" to the LISREL approach to covariance structure analysis. It is written, insightful, and complete covering both basic and advanced topics, with Bollen providing his insights into controversies and recent developments making good use of empirical examples to illustrate important points. He also stresses, at every point, that substantive knowledge and the theory of the process being modeled are indispensable for using the method fruitfully.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Matsueda |first=Ross L. |date=1991 |title=Review of Structural Equations with Latent Variables. |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/2781918 |journal=American Journal of Sociology |volume=96 |issue=6 |pages=1553–1555 |doi=10.1086/229704 |jstor=2781918 |issn=0002-9602 |access-date=December 12, 2017 |archive-date=January 16, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170116174958/http://www.jstor.org/stable/2781918 |url-status=live }}</ref></blockquote>{{blockquote |text=Bollen’s text, ''Structural Equations with Latent Variables'', represents an authoritative account of covariance structure modeling developments from the perspective of a sociologist who has made important contributions to both the psychometric and sociological literature on these models. |author=[[Jeffrey S.

One major drawback of the book is that the field is still expanding so fast that some of the material was outdated as soon as soon as the author ran to the publisher with the final manuscript. |author=Anne Boomsma (1991)<ref>{{cite web |last1=Boomsma |first1=Anne |title=Book review of K.A.
