1. Consider the powerpoint presentation in last week's lecture on Path Analysis. Please go to the library (electronically or in real time) and find a sociological article that utilized a path analysis in their data analysis.
2. Describe the 'theoretical' model that this article's path diagram evidences (i.e. what are the variables, their time sequencing and the direct and indirect path to explaining the dependent variable).
3. Carefully examine the path coefficients displayed in the article (remember these are no more than partial correlation coefficients) and summarize the magnitude of the direct and indirect effects of each independent variable.
4. Submit your results with a copy of the front page and path diagram page from the article.
