Nowadays, it is a preferred analysis method especially in doctoral dissertations and academic researches. However, since most of the universities do not include this method in the curriculum of undergraduate and graduate courses, students and scholars try to solve the problems they encounter by using various books and internet resources. The aim of this book is to guide the researcher who wants to use this method in a way that is free from math expressions and to teach the steps of a research using structured equality modeling practically. For the students who write thesis and the scholars who prepare academic articles, this book aims to systematically analyze the methodology of the scientific studies which is conducted by using structural equation modeling method in social sciences. This book is prepared in a simple language as possible so as to convey basic information. This book consists of two parts. In the first part, basic concepts of structural equation modeling are given. In the second part, examples of applications are given.
