Review criteria based on comments from: Stage, F. K., Carter, H. C., & Nora, A. (2004). Path analysis: An introduction and analysis of a decade of research. The Journal of Educational Research, 98 (1), 5-12.
Area
1. Explicit model based on literature/theory
- justification for inclusion or omission of variables
- ideally, presented in visual format
2. Discussion of preliminary analyses and alterations to the model.
- details regarding programs, procedures, analytic decisions
- descriptive statistics (Means, SDs, correlations) for model variables
3. Report of fit indices for all examined models and appropriate values
- path coefficients (decomposition of direct and indirect effects)
- proportion of variance explained
- multiple goodness-of-fit indices (absolute, comparative, residuals, etc)
4. Illustration of final model
- visual depiction of final model including path coefficients, explained variance
5. Discussion of findings, relative to previous research
- appropriate conclusions
- acknowledge limitations
6. Critique of article relative to use of path analysis
RESEARCH ARTICLE - Patient preference for involvement, experienced involvement, decisional conflict, and satisfaction with physician: a structural equation model test
