Longitudinal data spanning 22 years, obtained from deceased participants of the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP; N = 1,637; 70- to 100-year-olds), were used examine if and how life satisfaction exhibits terminal decline at end life. Changes in more strongly associated with distance death than birth (chronological age). Multiphase growth models identify a transition point about 4 years prior where prototypical rate tripled -0.64 -1.94 T-score units per year. Further individual-level...
This study assessed change in self-reported Big Five personality traits. We conducted a coordinated integrative data analysis using from 16 longitudinal samples, comprising total sample of over 60 000 participants. models across multiple datasets and fit identical multi-level growth to assess compare the extent trait time. Quadratic was subset samples with four or more measurement occasions. Across studies, linear trajectory revealed declines conscientiousness, extraversion, openness....
Factor score estimation is a controversial topic in psychometrics, and the of factor scores from exploratory models has historically received great deal attention. However, both confirmatory existence missing data have generally been ignored this debate. This article presents simulation study that compares reliability sum scores, regression-based expected posterior methods for presence data. Although all perform reasonably well with complete data, posterior-weighted (full) maximum likelihood...
BACKGROUND The objective of the current study was to examine how modifiable factors such as satisfaction with cancer care and self‐efficacy impact health‐related quality life (HRQOL) among Latino survivors. METHODS Latinos previously diagnosed breast, prostate, or colorectal ( N = 288) completed questionnaires (Patient Satisfaction Cancer Care Scale, Stanford Chronic Disease Self‐Management Measures, Functional Assessment Therapy‐General, Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics) within 2...
Recent research has seen intraindividual variability become a useful technique to incorporate trial-to-trial into many types of psychological studies. Intraindividual variability, as measured by individual standard deviations (ISDs), shown unique prediction several positive and negative outcomes (Ram, Rabbit, Stollery, & Nesselroade, 2005). One unanswered question regarding measuring is its reliability the conditions under which optimal achieved. Monte Carlo simulation studies were conducted...
SYNOPSISObjective. This study investigates maternal responsive parenting behaviors as a theorized buffer to the detrimental impact of PTSD symptoms on young children’s depression and anxiety symptoms, disruptive behavior, stress-related symptoms. Design. A multi-ethnic sample 242 trauma-exposed mothers their preschool-aged children was assessed. Maternal were observed during standardized parent-child interactions. child mental health reported by mothers. Results. associated with predicted...
Researchers examined whether a parent‐implemented language intervention improved problem behaviors 1 year after intervention. Ninety‐seven children with delays (mean age at 12‐month follow‐up = 48.22 months) were randomized to receive Enhanced Milieu Teaching (EMT) or business as usual treatment. Twelve months the ended, in EMT condition displayed lower rates of parent‐reported externalizing, internalizing, and total behaviors. A mediation analysis revealed that relation between was...
Growth mixture models (GMMs; Muthén & Muthén, 2000; Shedden, 1999) are a combination of latent curve (LCMs) and finite to examine the existence classes that follow distinct developmental patterns. GMMs often fit with linear, basis, multiphase, or polynomial change because their common use, flexibility in modeling many types patterns, availability statistical programs such models, ease programming. In this paper, we present additional ways nonlinear patterns GMMs. Specifically, show how LCMs...
Contextual variation in child disruptive behavior is well documented but remains poorly understood. We first examine how observed across interactional contexts associated with maternal reports of contextual oppositional-defiant and functional impairment. Second, we test whether inhibitory control explains the magnitude behavior.Participants are 497 young children (mean age = 4 years, 11 months) from a subsample MAPS, sociodemographically diverse pediatric sample, enriched for risk behavior....
Personality traits and physical health both change over the life span. Theoretical models empirical evidence suggest that these changes are related. The current study investigated dynamic relations between personality at between-person within-person levels. Data were drawn from three longitudinal studies: Veterans Affairs Normative Aging Study (NAS; N = 1,734), Longitudinal Internet Studies for Social Sciences (LISS; 13,559), Swedish Adoption/Twin of (SATSA, 2,209). Using random intercept...
Cross-sectional data from twins contain information that can be used to derive a test of causality between traits. This directionality is based upon the fact genetic relationships family members conform an established structural pattern. In this paper we examine several common methods for empirically testing as well models build on Direction Causation (DoC) model. We then discuss mathematical components DoC model and highlight limitations potential solutions these limitations. conclude by...
ABSTRACT: Objective: The goal of this article is to investigate the association between 2 most commonly reported parental concerns about young children—disruptive behavior (e.g., irritable, aggressive, and noncompliant behaviors) language delay in toddlers. To test for salient subgroup differences, individual differences by sex child family poverty status were examined. Methods: Participants included 1259 mothers children 18 36 months age. Mothers completed questions their child's...
