The analysis of measurement invariance latent constructs is important in research across groups, or time. By establishing whether factor loadings, intercepts and residual variances are equivalent a model that measures concept, we can assure comparisons made on the variable valid groups Establishing involves running set increasingly constrained structural equation models, testing differences between these models significant. This paper provides step-by-step guide to analysing invariance.
Bayesian statistical methods are becoming ever more popular in applied and fundamental research. In this study a gentle introduction to analysis is provided. It shown under what circumstances it attractive use estimation, how interpret properly the results. First, ingredients underlying introduced using simplified example. Thereafter, advantages pitfalls of specification prior knowledge discussed. To illustrate explained study, second example series studies that examine theoretical framework...
Estimating models within the mixture model framework, like latent growth modeling (LGMM) or class analysis (LCGA), involves making various decisions throughout estimation process. This has led to a wide variety in how results of trajectory are reported. To overcome this issue, using 4-round Delphi study, we developed Guidelines for Reporting on Latent Trajectory Studies (GRoLTS). The purpose GRoLTS is present criteria that should be included when reporting across research fields. We have...
Bayesian statistical methods are slowly creeping into all fields of science and becoming ever more popular in applied research. Although it is very attractive to use statistics, our personal experience has led us believe that naively applying can be dangerous for at least 3 main reasons: the potential influence priors, misinterpretation features results, improper reporting results. To deal with these points danger, we have developed a succinct checklist: WAMBS-checklist (When worry how Avoid...
This study examined identity development in a 5‐wave of 923 early‐to‐middle and 390 middle‐to‐late adolescents thereby covering the ages 12–20. Systematic evidence for progression was found: The number diffusions, moratoriums, searching moratoriums (a newly obtained status) decreased, whereas representation high‐commitment statuses (2 variants [fore]closed identity: “early closure” “closure,” achievement) increased. We also found support individual difference perspective: 63% remained same...

Measurement invariance (MI) is a prerequisite for comparing latent variable scores across groups. The current paper introduces the concept of approximate measurement building on work Muthén and Asparouhov their application Bayesian Structural Equation Modeling (BSEM) in software Mplus. They showed that with BSEM exact zeros constraints can be replaced to allow minimal steps away from strict MI, still yielding well-fitting model. This new opportunity enables researchers make explicit...
Meuleman and Billiet (2009) have carried out a simulation study aimed at the question how many countries are needed for accurate multilevel SEM estimation in comparative studies. The authors concluded that sample of 50 to 100 is estimation. Recently, Bayesian methods been introduced structural equation modeling which should work well with much lower sizes. current reanalyzes using find lowest number when conducting SEM. main result our simulations about 20 sufficient estimation, makes...
Most longitudinal studies are plagued by drop-out related to variables at earlier assessments (systematic attrition). Although systematic attrition is often analysed in studies, surprisingly few researchers attempt reduce biases due attrition, even though this possible and nowadays technically easy. This particularly true for of stability the long-term prediction developmental outcomes. We provide guidelines how such cases with multiple imputation. Following these does not require advanced...
Conducting a systematic review demands significant amount of effort in screening titles and abstracts. To accelerate this process, various tools that utilize active learning have been proposed. These allow the reviewer to interact with machine software identify relevant publications as early possible. The goal study is gain comprehensive understanding models for reducing workload reviews through simulation study.
Abstract Active learning has become an increasingly popular method for screening large amounts of data in systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The active process continually improves its predictions on the remaining unlabeled records, with goal identifying all relevant records as early possible. However, determining optimal point at which to stop is a challenge. cost additional labeling by reviewer must be balanced against erroneous exclusions. This paper introduces SAFE procedure,...
The rapid expansion of research literature makes capturing all relevant studies for systematic reviews and meta-analyses increasingly challenging. Traditional search methods are time-intensive heavily reliant on manual screening, yet more modern machine-aided strategies may also miss certain studies. This paper explores a collaborative, open-source approach blending both approaches to identify up the “last paper” review post-traumatic stress symptom (PTSS) trajectories. We compared results...
We examined change and stability of the 3 personality types identified by Block (1980) studied their links with adjustment relationships. used data from a 5-wave study 923 early-to-middle 390 middle-to-late adolescents, thereby covering ages 12-20 years. In Study 1, systematic evidence for was found, in that number overcontrollers undercontrollers decreased, whereas resilients increased. Undercontrol, particular, found to peak adolescence. also substantial types, because 73.5% adolescents...
This study tested whether Marcia's original identity statuses of achievement, moratorium, early closure (a new label for foreclosure), and diffusion, can be considered status trajectories. That is, we examined these are distinct relatively stable, over-time configurations commitment strength, levels in-depth exploration present commitments, consideration alternative commitments. The development in a five-wave 923 early-to-middle (49.3% female) 390 middle-to-late adolescents (56.7% female),...
This study examined the stability of internalizing and externalizing problems from age 1.5 to 6 years, while taking into account developmental changes in presentation problems. The comprised a population-based cohort 7,206 children (50.4 % boys). At ages 1.5, 3, mothers reported on problem behavior using Child Behavior Checklist/1.5-5 (CBCL/1.5-5). each we performed latent profile analysis CBCL/1.5-5 scales. Latent transition (LTA) was applied behavior. Profiles varied across ages. age,...
