Some New Results on Indirect Effects and Their Standard Errors in Covariance Structure Models

Sobel, Michael E.·1986·Sociological Methodology

Abstract

I am grateful to Gerhard Arminger, Bruno A. Baldessari, William T. Bielby, George W. Bohrnstedt, Clifford C. Clogg, Hermann Flaschka, Edward H. Freeman, Kenneth J. Singleton, and Nancy B. Tuma for helpful advice. I am also grateful to Clement A. Stone for writing a computer program that provides the standard errors discussed in this chapter. This program can be obtained at nominal cost and is described in Stone (1985).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
