An overview of several models confirmatory factor analysis for analyzing multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) data and a discussion their advantages limitations are provided. A new class multi-indicator MTMM combines strengths avoids number serious shortcomings inherent in previously developed models. The enable researchers to specify test trait-specific-method effects. trait method concepts composing these explained detail contrasted with those multiple indicators. definitions the step by step,...

The question as to which structural equation model should be selected when multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) data are analyzed is of interest many researchers. In the past, attempts find a well-fitting have often been data-driven and highly arbitrary. present article, authors argue that measurement design (type methods used) guide choice statistical analyze data. this respect, distinguish between (a) interchangeable methods, (b) structurally different (c) combination both kinds methods. an...

There is a growing body of evidence for the effectiveness trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy (TF-CBT) posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but few studies to date have investigated mechanisms by which TF-CBT leads therapeutic change. Models PTSD suggest that core treatment mechanism change in dysfunctional appraisals trauma and its aftermath. If this case, then changes should predict symptoms. The present study whether precedes symptom Cognitive Therapy PTSD, version TF-CBT.The...

According to the systemic-transactional stress model (STM; G. Bodenmann, European Review of Applied Psychology, 1997; 47: 137), extradyadic from daily hassles can have a negative impact on individual psychological and physical health couple's relationship. This study is first one test STM propositions in that includes both partners' relational outcomes simultaneously. The also actor partner effects as well interdependence between processes. Cross-sectional, self-report data were collected...

Although evolutionary and social-structural models predict that women will be more supportive than men in relationships, behavioral studies fail to confirm this difference. We predicted instead gender differences support moderated by stress, provide lower-quality primarily when their stress is high. further the detrimental effects of on men’s evident are responding women’s emotionally toned expressions affectively neutral stress. Stressed unstressed were observed providing a stressed...

This article examines variations of work-related flow both between and within days. On the basis effort-recovery model (Meijman & Mulder, 1998), we hypothesized that a person's relative day-specific state being recovered (i.e., feeling refreshed) in morning is positively related to subsequent day-level experiences during work. Taking into account research on circadian rhythms human functioning, further follow U-shaped pattern working day will affect this pattern. One hundred twenty-one...

ABSTRACT Personal values and attitudes can help to explain food choice. This study confirmed a hierarchical organization of the value–attitude–behavior chain: Food‐related influence attitudes, these, in turn, impact behavior. Contrary previous findings, are only partially mediated by attitudes: Some food‐related fully mediated, whereas others still have exclusively direct effects on purchase Questionnaire data from roughly representative sample 851 adults living Switzerland was complemented...

Multimethod data analysis is a complex procedure that often used to examine the degree which different measures of same construct converge in assessment this construct. Several authors have called for greater understanding definition and meaning method effects models multimethod data. In article, we compare 2 recently proposed approaches modeling with structurally methods regard effects, restricted CT-C(M – 1) model (Geiser, Eid, & Nussbeck, 2008 Geiser, C., M. F. W. 2008. On latent...

Although prevention of relationship distress and dissolution has potential to strengthen the well-being partners any children they are raising, dissemination programs can be limited because couples face many barriers in-person participation. An alternative strategy, providing with an instructional DVD, is tested in present study, which 330 Caucasian (N = 660 participants; mean age: men 41.4 years, women 40.0 years) were randomly assigned a DVD group without further support, technical...

Abstract This study contributes to understanding students’ emotional responses academic stressors by integrating grit into the well-established Job Demands-Resources Model and examining relationship between demands, (consistency of interests, perseverance effort), burnout, engagement, achievement, depression, life satisfaction in Chinese students. We conducted a self-report with N = 1527 high school students ( M age 16.38 years, SD 1.04). The results structural equation modeling showed that...

The aims of the present study are to analyze associations different forms dyadic coping (i.e., own supportive = OSDC; perceived provided by partner PSDC; common CDC) with relationship satisfaction, and investigate whether these effects differ depending on amount stress. In 240 couples, stress both partners were assessed annually across 5 measurement points. Data was analyzed multilevel models, which allow for disentangling between-person (overall, timely stable) from within-person (yearly,...

Convergent and discriminant validity of psychological constructs can best be examined in the framework multitrait–multimethod (MTMM) analysis. To gain information at level single items, MTMM models for categorical variables have to applied. The CTC(M−1) model is presented as an example ordinal variables. Based on empirical application model, a complex simulation study was conducted examine sample size requirements robust weighted least squares mean‐ variance‐adjusted χ 2 test fit (WLSMV...

The authors show how structural equation modeling can be applied to analyze change in longitudinal multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) studies. For this purpose, an extension of latent difference models (McArdle, 1988; Steyer, Eid, & Schwenkmezger, 1997) multiple constructs and methods is presented. model allows investigators separate true from measurement error simultaneously for different methods. also Campbell Fiske's (1959) guidelines analyzing convergent discriminant validity the change....

This study examined (a) the relationship of Latino partners' overall immigration stress and each its different dimensions with their satisfaction (b) whether a partner's support (supportive dyadic coping) couple's conjoint efforts to cope (common can moderate those relationships. An Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM; Kenny, 1996) was used analyze self-report data collected from 104 immigrant couples in U.S. Structural equation modeling results suggest that common coping supportive...

Assessment and treatment of psychological distress in cancer patients was recognized as a major challenge. The role spouses, caregivers, significant others became salient importance not only because their supportive functions but also respect to own burden. purpose this study assess the amount mixed sample partners explore dyadic interdependence.An initial 154 dyads recruited, questionnaires (Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale, Symptom Checklist 9-Item Short Version 12-Item Form Health...

In educational psychology, observational units are oftentimes nested within superordinate groups. Researchers need to account for hierarchy in the data by means of multilevel modeling, but especially three-level longitudinal models, it is often unclear which sample size necessary reliable parameter estimation. To address this question, we generated a population dataset based on study field consisting 3000 classrooms (level-3) with 55000 students (level-2) measured at 5 occasions (level-1),...

This study addresses the high level of academic demands and workload in Chinese schools aims to identify protective factors against students’ negative emotional responses. Using well-established Job Demands-Resources Model as a guiding framework, we investigated relationship between workload, perceived demands, teacher-student relationships, personal resources (self-efficacy, self-esteem, optimism), school burnout symptoms (emotional exhaustion cynicism). Data analyses were based on...

The analysis of convergent and discriminant validity is an integral part the construct validation process. Models for analyzing have typically been developed cross-sectional data. There exist, however, only a few approaches longitudinal data that can be applied fluctuating states. In this article, authors show how models latent state-trait theory combined with multitrait-multimethod to develop model allows in time: multimethod model. identifying different sources variance (trait consistency,...

In adult couples, stress emerging outside the relationship (extra-dyadic stress) spills over into evoking conflict between partners (intra-dyadic stress), which itself has a negative effect on satisfaction time. This detrimental of spillover can be buffered by adequate dyadic coping (DC) skills both partners. The current study aimed at replicating these effects in sample 96 Swiss couples and 124 late adolescent (non-cohabitating) who were serious for least 1 year. We examined (a) whether...

Avoidance goals heighten the salience of negative social experiences, and in intimate relationships such an orientation may contribute to communication difficulties perpetuation avoidance. We therefore hypothesized that individuals with stronger avoidance would be particularly prone engage escalating levels their partner, we tested this prediction by conducting sequential analyses on videotaped observational data (28,470 observations) collected from 365 heterosexual couples engaging a...

Several studies have shown that dyadic coping, is, the way couples cope with stress, plays a unique role in intimate relationships. The aim of this study is to validate Portuguese version Dyadic Coping Inventory (DCI; Bodenmann, 2008 ) by analyzing factorial structure and psychometric properties DCI as well its convergent criterion validity. A multigroup confirmatory factor analysis was conducted community sample 605 participants living Portugal who had been close relationship for at least 2...

Although active, responsive listening is widely assumed to be essential for well-functioning intimate relationships, the manner in which this important behavior might promote closeness remains unknown. To test prediction that may especially influential when partners disclose experiences of stress, we instructed 365 heterosexual couples hold two 8-min conversations each partner discussed a stressful personal experience while other was asked respond as he or she ordinarily would. We coded...
