Toward a New Approach to the Practice of Structural Equation Modeling

Methodology is a frustrating and rewarding area in which to work. Just as there is no best way to listen to a Tchaikovsky symphony, or to write a book, or to raise a child, there is no best way to investigate social reality. Yet methodology has a role to play in all of this. By showing that science is not the objective, rigorous, intellectual endeavor it was once thought to be, and by demonstrating that this need not lead to anarchy, that critical discourse still has a place, the hope is held out that a true picture of the strengths and limitations of scientific practice will emerge. And with luck, this insight may lead to a better and certainly more honest, science.
